TL;DR
Most airlines let 1-2kg of excess baggage slide, but it depends on the carrier and how full the flight is — during peak season with a fully booked plane, even a couple of extra kilos can get flagged.
During peak season with a fully booked flight, excess weight from every passenger adds up — there's a critical cargo weight limit, so airlines get stricter about even 1-2kg of overweight luggage.
Low-cost carriers usually don't forgive even a small 2kg overage, unlike major full-service airlines.
Major airlines like Aeroflot and Turkish Airlines typically overlook minor baggage overweight.
Based on 15 years of frequent flying from various locations, airlines almost never charge extra for 1-2kg of overweight luggage.
