Current Baggage Allowance???
Can anybody out there confirm US Airways' current baggage allowance for Platinum Pref/*Gold for a LGW-PHL-PHF flight?
On the US Airways site, I cannot find a single clear section but have gathered that the basic allowance is 2 bags checked, 50 lbs each.
It then states somewhere else that as *Gold there is an extra allowance which in the preferred section is explained as an extra bag for North to South American flights, but nothing else.
On the *Alliance site, it shows that as a *Gold member, I get 44 lbs/20 kg additional weight or one additional bag for North to South America.
On my last trip from LGW-PHF at check in, they had notices that they would not accept bags heavier than 23 kg (I think that is linked to UK airport restrictions).
So... do I get 2 checked bags at 50 lbs with a "tolerance" of 44 lbs/20 kg or does US Airways not honor the *Alliance guidelines?
Does this change when I upgrade to Envoy?
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

This is all it says for PP:

It does not mention what the extra allowance is.
