Quote from the "Lufthansa" web pages:
"The Lufthansa zone system is an especially concise rule to calculate the
excess baggage rate. The amount is not linked to the ticket price, but
based on the destination. So for a flight within Germany, for example,
the fee for one kilo of excess baggage is €5; on a flight from Germany
to Spain it is €10, and to Africa or Asia €30. In all cases where bags
are overweight, a minimum fee of 30 euros will be charged if the kilo
rate payable is below this amount."
Ryanair:
"Passengers traveling with more than 15kg of checked baggage
allowance per passenger will be charged a per kilo fee"
... many others have similar rules. Or they charge for numbers of
bags, as you said. But charging weight ist not uncommon.
