Quick update... just checked in for my flight from NICE to LHR by my preferred choice... was 5+ Kgs overweight ( luggage not me ).... handluggage was slightly bigger than that normally allowed ( I'm going to the middle east for 3 months )... no problems... no extra charges, not even a raised eyebrow... Nothing like the performance experienced with EJ where I was refused access with a standard airline handluggage bag because it did'n't fit their silly little frame and had to go unlocked into the hold... with an extra charge of course...
