Ethiopian Airlines Baggage Allowance

It shall be USD 80 if the size is within permitted allowance limits of check in baggage.

You can take 30 kg in one bag and 10 kg in another. No issues. 

You have to take two check in bags as the weight of any one bag shall not be more than 32 kg. 

It is good to rearrange and have only one check in bag which is overweight (but below 32 kg weight). It shall cost you about 70-100 USD. 

You are allowed 2 bags of 23 kg each inc heck in baggage allowance for this flight number which flies from Kilimanjaro to Addis Ababa. Cabin allowance is of  7 kg.

There is an extra baggage charge for having weight above 23 kg in a check in bag. In your case, you have added 2 kgs extra in both bags, which doubles the amount of extra charge you will have to pay. We suggest that you keep 4 kg extra in one bag only and pay only for one overweight check in, 32 kg is the max limit of one check in bag that you can take. So, you can increase from 23 kg to 32 kg in a bag and take it but on payment of charges. 

If you decide to take an additional bag, then you can take extra 23 kg in it. 

Overweight charge (23 kg-32 kg) is $100.

Extra bag charge (up to 23 kg) is $250.

IF you are carrying it within the permitted baggage allowance limits by size, weight and number of check in bags allowed, then USD 250 is charged. If it is beyond the free baggage allowance, then USD 550 is charged.

Yes, these backpacks can be taken as cabin bags within prescribed weight and size limits.

You can take a max of 32 kg in one bag. So, if the allowance is 23 kg, then there is an excess of 8 kg per bag. This means that two check in bags of 32 kg will have to be taken, this will entail charge of GBP70 per bag which means a total of GBP 140

If weight of your check in bag is more than 23 kg, then there will be charges for it for each such bag. So, our suggestion is that you keep extra weight of 5 kg in one bag only because you will be charged for one bag only. If you divide extra bag weight over two bags then double charges will have to be paid. Overweight baggage charge for more than 23 kg but less than 32 kg in one bag is $100.

You have not mentioned route of travel and cabin class.

25 and 27 kg bags have 6 kg extra, not 5 kg. And, you can take it in a single bag as charge will be same. If you increase weight of both, then double charge will have to be paid.
