Free bags with bmi elite silver

Swiss *G in Y flying from the western hemisphere gets 3 bags of 23kgs each.
Swiss *G in Y flying within the eastern hemisphere get unlimited bags with an aggregate total weight of 40kgs.

On many airlines *S gets you no additional baggage.  Exceptions that I know of are AC, CO, UA, and US.  There are probably others, but those are the ones I know of.

What does CO allow a *S on EWR-TLV?

Same as CO dirt, 2x50 pound bags.

 a CO Plat gets 3 @ 70lbs even in coach http://www.continental.com/web/en-US/content/travel/baggage/check.aspx

 since *S isnt mentioned among the Exceptions Id take that to mean you get 2 bags Only and @ 50lbs/23kilo if flying in Coach otherwise if in BF it should be 3 @ 70lbs due to being in BF and nothing to do with being *S

That's what I thought. I was hoping to get Gold, but it did not happen. We will have to make do with the "dirt" level.

 you can get away with an extra 4 lbs but once you go over 55 no telling what theyd do, Ive seen then tell people to move things around but the 2nd bag was heavier so they loaded up the heavy stuff into their carry-on and when it was below 55 tagged it

When they say fifty, I pack with a scale and do not go over fifty. We'll manage....
