I'll be flying ORD to Warsaw on LOT Polish and have Star Gold. Standard baggage for this flight is 1 bag of 50lbs. I can't figure out whether I'm allowed an extra bag or extra weight for being *Gold. Their website doesn't seem to say and I've been given different answers on the phone.

Star Alliance page says:
an additional 20kg (44 pounds) where the weight concept applies, or one additional piece of luggage where the piece concept applies.

So, it really depends on the airline which way the excess is allowed.

Thanks for any info. how to determine this!
