Chances are that you will get charged. Be prepared to pay.

If it looks big, they'll notice it.
If it is heavy, they'll notice it.

Everything gets inspected (at least I mine were inspected on all 4 flights in the past 3 months), so the chances of it slipping by are slim.

Make sure you know the policies and see to it that they adhere to them. Make them measure and/or weigh it if they object.

My cases look heavier than they are. I was asked to pay oversize (which they are) and overweight. I objected, they weighed them, and I ended up only having to pay for oversize, which seems to have become standardized at $80 (and watch out...some airlines can change you that on each leg of a multi-leg trip).
