If you can afford the worst-case scenario (high $ penalty) there's probably a good chance you'll sneak by. Smile and be nice! | 1
ozziegiraffe 13:09 UTC 26 Apr 2011 | The airline will probably weigh both you and the bags, as they do with all light planes. If there is too much weight, both cargo and passengers can get bumped. If the plane is not full, you can take extra. I took a small television on an interisland flight in Solomon Islands once, as well as my luggage. Edited by: Amy Johnston | 2
