What will be the argument for asking extra baggage allowance?
Out from the states I'll have no problem on the weight of my luggage since it'll be light, but on the way back, my itinerary now looks a bit messy.
CX 504 HKG=>NRT on Y
Stay in NRT for 1 day
SQ 12 NRT=> LAX on F
Stay in LAX for 1 day
UA 556 LAX=>SFO on Y
My luggage from Asia back to the U.S. may weight in between 23 to 25kg. I already foreseen that would be a problem while check in at CX counter & check in at UA counter...
Anyone had any experience on what will be the argument for asking extra baggage allowance?

And if they do in fact take you up on your offer to pay the overweight baggage fee, keep in mind that if you are actually overweight, then you actually do owe the fee and don't be too bitter about it.
