Check whether your bags exceed an airline's weight allowance and price the overage.
For each bag, the excess is the positive difference between its weight and the allowance. Multiplying by the number of bags and the per-kilogram fee gives the extra charge you would likely face. Overweight baggage fees are easy to underestimate and can exceed the base fare, so weighing bags beforehand avoids an unpleasant surprise at check-in.
