Query about baggage allowance
I've booked J flights for myself( silver) & my daughter (blue). On our booking it states she has 40 kg included & mine states 40 kg included with 12kg add on = 52 kg. Does this mean I can purchase another 12kg or I automatically get 52 kg? Not that I will use 52kg, that's almost as much as my body weight, but I think my daughter might just have that much in shoes.

Hi All
Bumping this thread. A little confused. Have managed to do a miles upgrade on part of my PEK-DXB-GLA itinerary. J class for PEK-DXB. No u/g availability at the moment for the DXB-GLA leg.
MMB still shows allowance as 30kg + 16kg gold additional allowance for both legs. Is this correct?
The lovely lady I spoke to on the phone to do the upgrade said when I asked about baggage allowance that starting the journey with the J allowance + extra shouldn't be a problem as stations tend to overlook if continuing in Y especially with status. I said I would take the extra bag & ditch it if they were not going to allow the through passage. The thing that's confusing me now is that it's only showing Y allowance (+ extra) for the whole journey.
The other question is, if I am entitled to the J allowance for the first leg, does anyone have experience if continuing in Y and being able to maintain the J allowance without charge?
I'm looking to maximise as I am moving from China now.
Thanks
