Most of the LCCs in Europe have pretty strict baggage weight limits -- usually 20kg (44 pounds), above which the charges can range up to $3/pound or more.

I could easily live with this limit if it were just me and/or I was only going for a weekend or a few days. But I'm planning a trip with my wife and it'll be about two weeks or more.

Does anyone have any tricks they use because of this limitation? Frequent laundry stops? Mailing baggage ahead? Leaving some behind? Or am I just being paranoid about a problem that's not real?
