Baggage limit enforcement
Hello - I am flying Suites next month US-Singapore; has anyone had any recent experience with SQ and how strict they are on the baggage limits? I have one item which is 60 pounds, which I am hoping to check-in and not be hit with an excess baggage charge.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Which comes in stark contract to Emirates, where if you are like 2kg over the limit for First Class (in suites) then they will try to shake you down for extra cash.

ghostboy I have regularly had 25 to 30kg bags checked though when traveling Suites (I will let you do the conversion - those from civilized countries will understand 
) - and there has never been an issue.
Bear in mind however that even SQ have a baggage 'policy' and transgressions may indeed be policed. I would think you will be ok but there is no guarantee - hope that helps.

Just checked in tonight for JFK-FRA-SIN in Suites and they tried to ding me $149 for a 3rd bag until i pulled out my *G card and got it waived.
Seems that checked allowance USA-SIN is 2 bags @ 23kg regardless of class of travel... Bizarre.!

They don't really care if you are over 23Kg for Suite Class, but not additional bag. In short, you can check in two elephants, but have to pay for third koala.
