When you are a top tier elite on US, traveling first class on two oneworld carriers, it's pretty easy to deduce that baggage charges are not an issue..
I cannot see that that can be deduced.
For Example
With 2 separate tickets on US and BA where the BA flight is a hand baggage only fare, there is no baggage allowance at all regardless of status
With 2 separate tickets on US and CX in economy, the US allowance may be 3 pieces of 23Kg whilst the CX allowance would be 40Kg, so could be a 29 Kg excess to be collected
