Air France HOP
Will be flying on HOP from TLS-CDG with one 70# bag. I can't seem to find the charges for checked baggage weighing over 50# (23kg) when flying on HOP. Are they the same as for regular Air France flights - e.g. EUR75 ?

Several comments here :
- TLS-CDG is not HOP but AF mainline, but I believe the prices for excess baggage are the same
- as we are talking about a domestic flight, I think it should be 5€/kg above 23kg
- the most important : you should limit to 32 kg for a single piece of baggage. 32kg is the maximum they allow for checked bags. Above this, it is considered as freight. I can't tell you how strict they could be for that, but be prepared for it
So, in other words, you'd rather have two 18kg bags than one 35kg. And it will not cost you more.

32 kg is the maximum that will be permitted
