However, this page and the other that was linked before both say that >70 lb. baggage is not accepted from Europe. Obviously this rule was not followed in this case. So, assuming $300 in overweight charges plus $150 in oversize charges for each bag per the page referenced here, that would be $600.
What has this matter to do with Europe?
