From personal experience, you're correct. JFK actually doesn't care, at least in F/J. I've sometimes been well over the 70lbs for F/J. It still makes it through to HYD. Never have had luggage stuck in DXB (don't think they would do that). Hope it never happens! Usually I'm a carry on only traveller, but if I'm taking stuff to family in India, there is a lot of luggage. Also, on one occasion (in J not F) I was traveling with my family of 4 including me. The most bags to check was 8, but at JFK only, they let us check in 2 extra smaller ones, at check in. Not because of too many carry ons, they just didn't mind it. That only happened once though, so we had a total of 10 checked in bags. It's a lot I know
