How tight are the Airlines on luggage weights this year?

We are travelling out on Viking Airways from Gatwick.  Airlines seem to be tightening up on the luggage allowance and Viking want £5/kg each way over 15kg.  In addition they state only 5kg of hand luggage. Has anyone any recent experience if these limits are strictly adhered to.  I suppose I should be more concerned about Ash and the Greeks have a Air Traffic Contollers strike but wouldn't mind knowing.  I will let you know how the new season feels when I return on 24th May!

Don't be caught out by the likes of Sleazyjet and O'Ryan Air on hand luggage

Their hand luggage max sizes are often smaller than other airlines, and they will sting you
to take it on board even if it is that tiny bit bigger  :(

I got a nifty digital scale from Amazon last week for under a tenner, so no more nail biting about weight for us.

tonyco1:
Yes - we use one as well these days, but Mikee is correct- check each Airlines Max size for the hand luggage bag -
they love to catch you out, and charge - or force you to pay to put it in the hold.
Easyjet and Lyanshare both have smaller hand luggage sizes than standard - and love to catch you out!
