I'm allowed 2 bags, and I have two bags that measure 158cm. Since Nov.15, 2014, the max size allowed has been reduced from 158cm to 150cm. How strictly are the new rules enforced? Do I need to buy new bags just for this one flight? I couldn't find any info about the fees for luggage that violates size restrictions.
