Michael,

Thanks for your info. In fact the _only_ airline that asked me to pay
overweight charges was British Airways. United, EgyptAir did not ask for
any additional money. From London to Cairo, the world's most expensive
per-mile route (?), BA waived the extra charges when I showed them that I
had travelled with the same bags from the US to the UK. On the way back
from Cairo to London, they asked that I either pay a charge of 1% per kilo
of the first-class airfare between Cairo and London (for me about US $820)
or a flat rate of US $99 for an extra piece of baggage from Cairo - London
- Los Angeles. Guess which option I chose?

The "per-piece" rate option exists for all journeys which include the US
The only other requirment is that any stay at an intermediate stop not
be more than 7 days.
