We are flying from Brussels to Copenhagen on SAS and are having a problem understanding the weight requirements. It seems that I can take only 44 lbs in coach. Has anyone ever had problems with this? Sort of hard to pack for a 10 day cruise.

I find it hard to believe but it looks like you are correct. The baggage limit for standard coach on flights within Europe is 44 lbs.
But if the flight is part of a longer itinerary that includes transoceanic service then you might qualify for a higher allowance. Good luck. Tom.

We had a similar problem for our cruise last September. We were flying to London (to meet my parents who were flying in from the US) and then having a driver take us to Dover. Our BMI flight from Teeside to London only allowed 44 pounds. We paid a surcharge that I believe was the same cost as the tickets (around 50 GBP) It seemed like a lot but we paid it and this year took the train to London for our cruise out of Dover!
Cheers, Pam

SAS usually inforces the weight allowance. I had a tough time when I was flying Business class. Luckily, I had next to nothing in my carry on so he added all 3 pieces together and I was under the weight allowance. However, I wouldn't count on that. The kid took pity on me. Lynn

If, per chance, you have Gold level status with any Star Alliance airline (most likely as a Premier Executive with United or whatever the counterpart is with US Air), you get an extra 44 lbs in the form of a third piece of luggage. See: http://www.staralliance.com/star_alliance/star/frame/main.html

It is true but I'm sure you get 30kg (66lbs) if your travel is part of a transatlantic flight. We were a little over on one of our cases on the way back (23kg instead of 20kg) but they let us off
