Got our docs today.
I am with you Doug. Two bodies and a selection of lenses is heavy!
I too will wear a vest with pockets at check-in.. Have done this before and, after check-in just put it all back in my flight bag! We have only had our flight bags weighed a couple of times (Cathay does it.).
Security has not been a problem. We are on an A320 charter flight which should have the standard size overhead bins.
Not long now. See you all in B.A.
