SAA Baggage allowance for Domestic leg on partner int'l Biz award
So I have a flight from the states to PLZ (South Africa) via LHR and CPT. I am flying VS UC from States to CPT and overnight in CPT then onward on a small 1 class SAA plane.
My question is, does anybody have any experience with the SAA regarding baggage? I imagine I should be fine if I go by VS’s rule, but if memory serves me correctly they initially tried to charge me last time I flew through JNB. I just politely raised the flag that this was an international itinerary, and they “waive” the fee. But that was when my onward flight was the same day. This time I fly out the next day (still on the same reservation and ticket).

On SAA website it says operated by South African Express Airways, I presume that is SAX.
Anyway I meant I will be checking in at the SAA counter and presume their flight number.
