I might be able to, or I might not.. One of my bags is already at 60lbs, the other is getting there.



That's what I'll do.. The same as the outbound from PDX..



Yes I am in F on all segments on a mainline.
I think your chances are good at paying no fees, especially if you are F on the AS flights, and check your bags all the way through (assuming they will do that on a 14 hour layover). Have CX's baggage rules handy. Also, you may consider taking a 50 pound bag and a 70 pound bag rather than 2 60 pound bags which will save you some $$ if you do end up paying. If you end up maxing both at 70...well then it's a moot point!
