I would agree with the above. A few years ago I found myself in an aircraft with too much fuel on board for the sector to be flown (there had been an airframe switch).

To get down to landing weight at destination we flew the entire sector using climb power making full use of engine bleeds and air brakes.

Never having tried this before I was somewhat surprised to find that we did not have to reduce below climb power until 10 miles finals at the destination!
