Just wait until you get to the airport, take your chances, and have your credit card handy? I hate that approach; used it once when I was on the lower limits and it hurt. :shocked2:
Even with Elite baggage limits I have had to move things from one bag to another at the ticket counter, and without Elite - if one knows what the bags are weighing, it can be tempting to forfeit some weighty items to avoid the overweight charges.
I was about to go to Wallyworld to look for fish (weighing) scales and see if they went up to 70# but on a hunch checked Ebay. Three weeks later got this little $5 gadget that weights 1/2 pound to 88 pounds and seem rather accurate. 40Kg 20g Digital Hangging Luggage Fishing Weight SCALE - eBay (item 320435840144 end time Jan-12-10 02:39:03 PST) I think you'll want a small bungee cord or similar with hooks on the ends to loop thru the bag handles as the hook on this one is a bit small. It may take over 3 weeks coming from Hong Kong in December but those suppliers have been very impressive about keeping customers happy and Positive Reps on ebay.

be careful of the one with a 20 Kb/44 pound limit = worthless!
