I just bought a mileage ticket and on the reservation it said the following:
First and second baggage service charges per traveler as listed below: 1st bag 2nd bag Weight per bag
Sun., Apr. 27, 2014 Houston, TX (IAH - Intercontinental) to Shanghai, People's Republic of China (PVG - Pu Dong) $0 $100 50.0 lbs (23 kgs)
Tue., Apr. 29, 2014 Shanghai, People's Republic of China (PVG - Pu Dong) to Bangkok, Thailand (BKK) $0 $100 50.0 lbs (23 kgs)
Wed., Apr. 30, 2014 Bangkok, Thailand (BKK) to Melbourne AU (MEL) $0 $70 50.0 lbs (23 kgs)
do i really need to pay that money for each leg of the journey? theyre all connecting flights (under 24hrs)
