    Right, case was not oversized as stated in a previous post


    We did not buy a case at the airport because we thought we had no issue with the weight as it was ok at Manchester via US airways staff at that point and we knew we had not contributed that much to the returning weight

    Your case was oversize as per their terms, oversize being a case that weighs between 23kg and 32 kg

    as I said previous you were lucky not to get charged on the outbound flight.

    According to the luggage allowances/rules you should have been charged for both legs.
    Just because you 'got away with it' on the outbound, doesn't oblige the airline to do the same on the return.

    Indeed - imagine if their one bag had gone AWOL and they were left with all they were standing in.
