Extra luggage on *A light (no luggage allowance) fares

I have flown on A3 light fares before and gotten my one piece (ie 0+1) thanks to *G.

I need to book an intra-Europe leg now and have a choice of SN, TP and 4U (and I think LH). I assume that *G is useless on 4U (United MP *G). Would I get extra luggage allowance on TP ? SN ?

Thanks

D.

If your ticket was booked on SN.com and you booked the most basic/cheapest ticket for intra-Europe flights, you shouldn't have been allowed check-in bags for free.

Interesting. When booking A3 it's up there in a big graphic (*G get an extra bag), didn't see anything on SN or TP - guess I'll call them...

edit: having looked again - yes, it is indeed there on SNs website - https://www.brusselsairlines.com/en-...in-europe.aspx. So I guess I am left with TP now...
edit#2: OK, I was inefficient first time around.... Seems TAP does mention this on their website, *G DO get an extra bag on "brand discount" which is their light fare. I'll call to make sure, though. https://www.flytap.com/en-gb/baggage/hold-baggage

No on the contrary it is explicitly stated on SN.com (and LH.com) as I recall it that *A Golds/elite benefits in respect to check-in luggage do not apply to the basic/cheapest eco fare booked on SN.com or LH.com respectively.
