Same with the return - transfering from Jet to the other airline in Bangkok.

My questions:
1) Will baggage be through-checked in from US to India? Tix are on 2 different airlines on tickets purchased separately.
I was told they might do a courtesy airline-to-airline transfer. What does that mean? Are there no consistent rules about baggage transfer?

2) Can I carry 46 kgs as free baggage allowance on Jet (it is allowed on the other airline for US-Bangkok-US trip) because my travel originates in the US, AND I am directly connecting in Bangkok with no stopover longer than 24 hours?

Thanks
I have done the through-check as you described in your first point on seperate tix interline to Jet with no problems.

As for second point, I have done that as well but plus an extra bag...still no problems...
