When I got back to the taxi the driver wasn't there so I waited inside the airport. After a few minutes he appeared. It seems Tina was quite overweight (her bags not her) for EU travel and so they charged her 150 Euros for the added weight!
I realized she did what I did (only once!). She booked her international travel but did not include the London - Munich leg. She booked that piece on a separate ticket with Lufthansa. When the entire trip is not on one ticket the European domestic portion is under EU weight rules. OUCH!
So if you ever plan to fly to Europe and want to try and save money by booking a piece separate from your international flight be careful because you are allowed much less weigh on the domestic portion. Sometimes it can cost so much you might as well book the whole trip as one so you can bring two 50 lb bags. Live and learn.....
I am not ensconced in the hotel and leave here at 4:30 AM for my 7Am flight.
