Coo, thanks! Now, any idea on higher baggage allowance for Star Gold? I can really use some extra weight/ extra bag for my trip.

Several posts have been cleaned up from this thread. This forum is to discuss India-based Airlines, and not general remarks about certain ethicities or nationalities. That discussion (if so desired, and access permitting) can be continued in Omni P/R.

Just tried to book saver award on AI from BLR to ORD Via DEL and had no issues booking it via phone as it still not showing on UA website.
The catch of the day here was Air India Agent saying that United is not part of Star Alliance and your Mileage plus status will not work for additional baggage.
when I flew Lufthansa I had 32Kg(70 lbs) of 2 bags free on the Business Class. Now with Air India Business Class it says 23Kgs (51 Lbs ) on my ticketed Itenary.
United Agent says that its 32kg not 23kg but when i check with Air india they say its only 23 Kgs not 32 Instead.
So i m in total dilema as whos correct, I believe united is correct, But AI is what i m flying so have this confusion. Does Any one else had this kind of Issue?
