Some people claim that LCCs have strict baggage weight and size inspections.
I was told by a staff member when I exceeded 600g on a skymark flight (with a straight face).
This is what the staff told me (with a straight face) when I was 600g overweight on a skymark flight.
So, about LCCs, which are supposed to be strict on weight restrictions.
On flights from overseas to Japan, even if I was overweight, nothing was pointed out to me and I was OK.
When I put my luggage down at the check-in counter and the weight was displayed, I mumbled in Japanese, “Oh, that’s overweight,” and asked, “How much is the extra charge? (I asked in Japanese, “Oh, I exceeded the weight,” and was told “no problem” with a smile.
I will not reveal which country the staff member is from.
The reason I don’t want to tell you which country the staff is from is because it will be more beneficial for me when I visit that country in the future.
Or maybe he is a foreigner who likes to speak in Kansai dialect, like “Oh, I’m over it. Maybe they are pro-Japan.
So, even though I have exceeded the limit several times on flights from overseas to Japan, I have never been asked for an additional fee.
I have yet to be asked for extra charge.
I’m a thin guy, so it’s more than possible that I’m getting a “space available” type of decision.
I think airjapan was also lax, even though they are not an LCC.
By the way, from Singapore to Japan, where I usually live, ZIPAIR charges this amount for carry-on baggage.

A plate of chicken rice costs about 500 yen at hawkers in Singapore. That is the same price as the cost of about 7 meals.
And the cost of checked baggage was more than double what it was two years ago.
Two years ago, it was 3,000 yen.
Now it was 6100 yen.
I don’t think it is because of the weak yen.
I guess I’ll take what I can get in the OP.
