20kg extra on all flights regardless of class of service where weight system applies

Priority tagging regardless of class of service.

Huge disadvantage for me with OW. Star Alliance really does make it more hassle free for gold members, priority baggage with 90% of the carriers is actually prioritized on OW and even interlining, the baggage still comes out first.

Also, not everyone can travel on 2 week trips with 30kg of baggage, especially when crossing from one hemisphere to the other. Believe, there are many people every day who travel, pay huge prices for their tickets and are skimped b/c of this stupid baggage charge.
As I said, it's nice to have such benefits but OW has bigger problems to deal with right now. Priority bags could be easily done as it almost costs the carriers nothing but extra allowance does.
