K is the lowest fare in economy J is the highest fare in business. It will cost you A LOT.
You can say what you think when you think what you say.

Ok so booked with United, flights are on Turkish.

My mileage award says whats in the attached image. My understanding was that meant two bags each for free. Called United, they said I get no bags, and luggage would be assessed at $27/Kg. That's insane. I asked to speak with a manager and they said I would have to call Turkish.

Both flights are exclusively on TK, but does this sound right for a United award? I though baggage allowance on awards go according to the company you book through?

Just ignore that. Look on TK for baggage allowance and follow that.

Got in touch with TK which confirms 20Kg pp. Sheesh.

So it goes according to whatever airline you're traveling on then?

Yes. Every single time. Any airline can put what they want on their own papers but that don't matter.

However, keep in mind that for the Maldives sometimes the hotels have their own limits for the boats or planes

Booked a MP award on OS. united.bomb didn't show the Amadeus Locator, so I called web support for locator, and was told they cant give it because its not an Austrian flight, rather a "TYROLEAN AIRWAYS", they can only give it if its "pure Austrian" flight.
So I called LH with the ticket ticket number, they told they can't do nothing because its an OS Flight, I told the rep that they are one (not like LX with LH which are 2 different res systems, OS/LH are both on Amadeus, when calling OS they answer the phone "thanks for calling LH"), but after a few minutes she finally gave me the record locator, then called right back LH and got KSML & Seats done....

Try the compensation thread. There have been reports of such.
