SN actually replied to an email when asked who's rules will apply, and they said "we have the same baggage policy as LH, so it doesn't matter". Their answer seems bogus to me, because I can see a 1-bag difference when comparing overseas rules on both websites.

To be exact I don't have any tickets.. this is based on ITA software results. It's all given with one price, and ITA software is not capable of multiple bookings, so AFAIK it's 1 booking and therefore 1 ticket.
When you say "LH ticket stock", does that mean LH flight numbers? Is that also synonymous with who the carrier is? Sorry, I'm quite behind on all the terminology that goes on.
I actually have some choices here, considering all the codeshares. If I can assume that "the carrier" = "flight number issuer", these are the choices I have for the first direction:
flight 1 (short):
- operator: SN
- carriers: BD, SN, AC, or LH (but SN turns out to be much more expensive as a carrier, due to an extra "SN YQ Surcharge" - the other carriers are equally priced)
flight 2 (long-haul):
- operator: AC
- carriers: AC, LH, or BD
flight 3 (short):
That's for the outbound journey. I'll leave out the return journey at this point since that question is sufficiently answered.
