My friend’s luggage weighs 27.5kg which is above the permitted 20kg limit. How much does she have to pay? She is travelling from Stockholm , Sweden to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

hmmm, the standard bagagge rate is 0.1% of the one way first class fare. I would guess this is about USD 9.00 per Kilogram.
But try to call Malaysiaairlines in Stockholm and ask about the extra bagagge rate … and invent a nice story. Malaysiaairlines are quite nice, they might increase the bagagge allowance – but you need to ask the airline as the check-in is managed by a 3rd party and they just stick to the rules.
