The official rule on this is as per above. You have to show your boarding pass or an onward ticket for the long haul baggage allowance to be honored.
Be careful though as not many agents are aware of this privilege. I came in from CMB a year back and carried back 3 Suitcases as my SQ allowance before that was 3PC. Although I was flying business but my colleague was in Economy and he was allowed 3PC too. The check in agent wanted to charge me but I had a print of from a email that I had sent Jet in regards to this.
Best bet is to email Jet/AI to get this in written. Although I would suggest emailing AI one year in advance as they take around that long to get back to you.
I am not sure which other airlines allow this benefit but would highly recommend Jet as you shouldn't have any problems with them.
