Hi if anyone has recently returned from Mahon airport can you confirm if the rumours I hear about the airport being very strict on luggage allowance weight are true. I have heard that if you are slightly over the allowance you have to pay in euros there and then.

Also I have been told by Monarch airlines that for this end at Gatwick for a family of 4 we are still ok to combine our luggage weight allowances (20kg each) into 2 main cases. However this means we will be 'over weight' (as each case could potentially be 40kg) for the return journey from Mahon and they may charge us?

Anyone who has any useful information it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
