The itinerary on aa.com shows 2 free bags (70 LBs) and BA as MSC
BA baggage policy is 3 bags 70 LBs each + 1 extra bag as OWE. Although I think BA will let me take 3 bags and will check them to DEL, I am concerned about 9W.
Do I need to call AA and ask them to make it 3 x 70 LBs bags on ticket or will Jet guys know that BA is MSC and the policy is 3x 70 LBs?
With it being a single through ticketed itinerary , then the bags should be checked through to the destination
If however you do have 2 bookings, one for BA and another for EY / 9W then the allowances for the EY/9W journeys will be different
I understand that other airlines may not honor the extra OWE allowance.
Your entitlement is that of BA's for BOS-BLR which is 3 pieces
With non OW airlines in the itinerary, then additional pieces beyond that are not permitted FOC for the whole journey
