Baggage Allowance Question
« on: October 16, 2012, 01:31:15 PM »
What if I fly LAX-TPE using miles via SFO and ICN (Seoul, Korea),
LAX-SFO - Economy
SFO-ICN, ICN-TPE - Business
Would I be able to check in 2-3 bags in LAX based on my following itinerary which is all in business? Or would they give me only coach allowance as the first leg is coach?

Please help if you know what are the rules...
Thank you!

Sorry,
United and Asiana.

Is the business class leg on UA, if so for sure yes.

otherwise should be yes but I'm not sure it actually works

LAX-SFO UA1071 coach
SFO-ICN UA893 biz

Yeah the first 2 legs are on UA.
So youre saying they will let me have the biz allowance for sure?
Is it 2 or 3 70lb. bags?

Thanks for the GREAT help!

UA luggage allowance for the entire itinerary is set by the highest (UA) segment in the trip.

UA ≠ LH.

LH's policy is exactly as stated on their site.

WARNING: LH requires that you have your physical *G card handy before they will waive any fees for an additional bag.

Trust me. I learned it the hard way. :(

AA gold flying with Elal ticket on AA metal to zurich (coach).
Is my allowance the standard gold allowance or is it different because it's an Elal ticket?
Hey there! I am using WhatsApp.

No reason why not. Worst case, ask the GA to change it back.

You should be fine with AA metal. No matter who ticketed it.
