This is the first time I've had such a strict rule for this type of flight, also they're overage charges are CRAZY. I've tried searching the old threads but most posts are a few years old and it seems like the policies have changed since then.

Thanks!

Welcome to FT, hijabi!

Is this on one ticket or one itinerary? Two different things. If this is all on Star Alliance, then normally your bags should be checked all the way from DTW to CAI. On the way back from CAI to ORD. If you get around the luggage allowance on the trip to Egypt, you still face the problem on the way back as your first carrier will be BD.
