The sensible way round this crock of poo is to allow "pooling" of baggage allowances between travellers on the same booking. People have to do a front of the queue re-pack and all that is achieved is stress and delay. 2 bags @ 18kg and 22 kg become 2 @20 each. The airline is still carrying the same weight AND aren't making any mony from the delay so it is hard to see the point of the exercise.
