Now the question I have is for the return journey from BLR to AUS.

The current exemption policy from/to USA and India seems to be 2 bags in Economy: http://www.lufthansa.com/online/port...en&cid=1000267

If this is the standard then I was hoping with *G I will get 3 bags.

However Lufthansa is arguing this is only applicable if all my flights were on Lufthansa and ticketed as Lufthansa stock.

Since these are United flights, they say they can only let me checkin 1 bag @ 23kg before the *g allowance

That is the official "line".

It depends on the station and the check-in agent.

Nobody really looks at ticket stock to enforce rules, but who knows what LH is dictating to their representatives nowadays...

If you were flying ex-BOM, I could have taken at least 2 suitcases for you...I usually am bringing back a lot ex-USA...
