Since the discussion is still going, I'll throw in my case. Was 3 kg over. The agent did ask me to unload them (didn't just hand me a bill). This would of never happened in the "good old days", but I did pull out 3 kg of stuff and put it in my carry-on.

So yes, Cathay is cracking down on weight.

From what I see, the loads on my flight (CX713) are low.

Checked in 6 bags initially at 115kg, was over 5kg and the check in lady told us to repack.

Went back to my car and found that I had another bag at 11kg, went to the check in area again and was all ready to pay for overweight but a different check in clerk just accepted my bag after some deliberation.

Flew CX713 on 26th July, 3 pax, 1 OWE, 2 non status.

All 3 of us were allocated PEY seats.

Beautiful A359 though, the quietest aircraft I have been on.
