I just went to check in for my AF flight, which is an award ticket. I'm in J on the first leg, and C on the second. When I checked in, AF's website site said "Baggage Allowance - 0" Is this a fluke, or do I need to pay for my checked bags since it's an award ticket?

No, your bagage allowance is the same as paid Business PAX, depending on route.

(bolding mine)... and on Flying Blue status if any.
See here (http://www.airfrance.us/US/en/common/guidevoyageur/pratique/bagage_franchise_airfrance.htm) for your baggage allowance.
You get to take two pieces @ 32 KG and one extra piece if you happen to be Skyteam Elite (Plus).

Thanks all. I assumed that I would get the 2 free pieces of checked luggage, and all of your replies confirmed it. What I saw on the webpage must have been a fluke. If anything differs when I get to the airport in a few hours, I'll report back here.

Air france website says I only have 1 free 32 kilo bag on a business class ticket. I am Skyteam Elite +. Is this in error, and is the current limit still 3 free 32 kilo bags for me given my status, etc.?
PS I followed the link above and it does show the 3 free bags. But website wants me to pay for the 2nd checked bag at check-in.

Yes, you can take 3 bags @ 32kg each (2 for J, 1 for Elite(+)). Must be another glitch. :td:
BTW could you check it on the KLM website and see if it is stated correctly there?

I ran into this issue checking into our flight at ORY, I am Delta Diamond and my spouse is Delta Gold. We were traveling on an award ticket in J, but Y from ORY-MPL. The agent checked our first 2 bags and then looked at us and said, "Your profile says you can check 0 bags". After trying to explain that we are both Elite Plus so we get 3 bags, she called someone over and got it cleared up after about 15 minutes of discussion. Another traveler with us, who is also Delta Gold, was only able to check 1 bag and his agent wouldn't check anymore for him. This is a glitch they need to fix.
