Check your airline's policy on baggage allowances before flying. Some airlines may allow slight flexibility on overages, but others might be strict. If you're over the limit, you might have to pay extra fees. Consider redistributing items between your carry-on and checked luggage or wearing heavier clothing to reduce your checked baggage weight. Always weigh your luggage at home to avoid surprises at the airport.
