Hi

If the weight of your luggage is queried ask them for the calibration certificateof the scales that usually causes a panick and then ask them to check the weight at another desk, there is usually a discrepancy between desks. This "weight discrepancy" should not occur between desks if the scales have all been calibrated at the same time. All supermarket,shops etc who sell produce by weight require by law to have their scales callibrated at regular intervals and the certificate produced should show a + - error recorded at the time. The check in desk scales will be covered by this law
