I've found that staff at some airports are much more lenient than others, it's a rip off in my opinion and one of my pet peeves, especially when you're boarding a half empty plane with just a couple of kilos over.
As I often go away for relatively long periods I have to pack enough for the duration so my choice of airline often depends on their baggage allowance as well as ticket price...both vary enormously and the cheap airlines sometimes work out more exppensive in the long run.
Can any other travellers recommend particularly light but durable luggage? I'm looking for new suitcases at the moment to take on my next trip to Russia.
