    It varies hugely. What does your ticket say?

    What does the airline web site say?

    Be careful, depending on the airline anything over 30-32kgs in one bag
    will not be carried due to 'health and safety' reasons... regardless of
    how much you pay.

    Also some US airlines will allow you two bags of 20kgs each, but will
    charge you if you have only one bag of 20kg+.

    Low cost and charter airlines are the most anal on charging.

    Check your tickets or the airline website as it's the only way
    to find out for sure.

    the ticket says nothing about excess. i contacted the company and they said this

    "With regards to your query, additional weight above from the allowance, shall be charged with a normal excess baggage rate."

    i know ryanair is €8 per Kg, i wonder if its that

    Also - not all airlines are 20Kg. Ryanair allowance is only 15. Did you check the airlines website?
