All airline carriers have different rules and regulations. Technically if two people show up on the same booking form (i.e. booked together) then the combined allowance should be 30kg. However, airlines see a way of making a few extra quid with the confusion over luggage allowances. To be on the safe side I would check with the airline you are travelling with to clarify the situation BEFORE you arrive at check-in.

Every kilo extra will cost you 12 pounds or 15 euros. (Check the website it's there) Like the other people have already mentioned. Put all the heavy items in your carry-on luggage. I fly with Ryanair 6-8 times a year and only ONCE (which was at Stansted) have they weighed my carry-on. Hairdryer and straighteners can go in either carry-on or checked luggage. Both are okay.

Depends on the airline. Some give a total allowance some individual allowances. Check with the operator. Otherwise, move some stuff around between cases.

Strictly speaking yes. You could be. It would depend largely on how p155ed off the check in clerk was feeling on the day. The baggage allowance is per passenger and pooling is theoretically NOT allowed. However I've never had that problem... but er... why not simply re pack?

With most airlines this is fine. But there are one or two of the low cost airlines that will not allow pooled baggage... check with the airlines website.

If you are travelling with Ryanair, Yes. They are very strict on this issue, I travel frequently with them, And the amount of times, at the check-in, I've seen people have to repack their cases, Its completely Illogical, but they make money out of it.

I've flown with both Virgin and Singapore Airlines just recently, and this was not allowed. I had to pay excess.

technically, you won't be charged as you would be traveling as a couple, so both of you are entitled to a total of 30kg. as long as both combined baggage does not exceed 30kg, you're fine.
however, certain airlines do not allow baggages to be pooled if you're not related eg family members, husband and wife, due to security reasons.
