From my experience in MAN they are very very difficult when it comes to baggage allowance. I had an argument with them once flying J and was 7 kg over. I know I was above the limit and rules are rules but from my experience EK are known to be flexible with premium passengers. I ended up carrying the 7kg by hand....

Try your luck, if not hand baggage is ur only option. But as mentioned earlier you are anyway above the 32KG limit per piece which they won't let slide due to HSE.
