It used to be that European airlines would accept more than their standard one suitcase weighing 20K for intra-Europe trips if their flight was the first leg of a transatlantic trip. Has this convention changed?
The originating airline that starts your journey or return will take precedence. Be aware of charges and policies before you go on your trip.
