When I called Thai Airways to get seat assignments for my return flight, I asked about the checked baggage allowance. The Thai Airways agent advised me that since Air Canada stated on the ticket that only 1 bag is allowed-that's what they will abide by even though their allowance is 2 bags for economy class.
Has anyone here ever have experience this type of itinerary before and what was the outcome. I realize we'll probably be taking a chance if we showed up with 2 bags each. But what would be your advice?
Thank you for your help.
I think this is where those IATA rules may go against you. The MSC rule says that you will be allowed the Air Canada policy, but then again they also say a second bag for a nominal fee something which TG may not be used to. So many complications, but if you try hard enough, I'm sure they will allow two bags
