If you are really concerned about going over, pay a skycap $5 to take your bags for you. It saves you the hassle of standing in line, and for $5 he'll look the other way.

I checked in 2 80-pound bags via a skycap, and told him to "be careful... they're a bit heavy."

That and a fiver took care of my troubles. Works every time.
