If you turn up at the airport with bags and have no baggage allowance you'll pay the excess baggage fee as you have no allowance on your fare. This starts at $60 for the first bag.
If he/she pays the extra $10 to upgrade to seat + bag fare prior to check-in then they should be entitled to the extra *G bag though?

Different from just rocking up with seat only fare checking in and then trying to check in a bag?

31570324 I have to admit I try and save $10 here and there as it adds up over a period of time but if you have 1 or 2 bags to check through it's better to pay the $10 or so to upgrade to the seat + bag fare, then you should receive an additional 2nd bag allowance if you need it for *G ie 2 bags for the cost of $10 NZD. Don't get to the airport to check in and then try and add it.
