Who do I blame crash ?

Blame yourself for not asking the question on luggage allowances prior to booking!.

Which airline?

20 kg for a week away is ample. Just wear your extra clothes when checking in. Have things in your pockets too. They don't weigh them as you are boarding.

You might find this link useful.

seriously, 15kg is easy. Simple tricks are such as buying shampoo and sun cream in the airport when you have checked in. Buy a cheap towel while you are over there and then leave it for the maid at the end.

Use travel shaving cream and deodorant. Take some travel wash and a clothes line. All simple but effective tricks. - view external link
