Hi Guy Betsy

Thanks for responding.

My point was to isolate the subtle difference in each of the 3 cases -- in particular the effect in #3 of purchasing the short-haul leg *after* arrival from the long-haul leg.

I am aware that North America has piece system and thus different allowances than other origins, but it doesn't affect the salient issue about purchase of the second leg upon arrival (#3) versus two PNRs for both legs checked-in together (#2) versus normal case of single PNR with 2 legs (#1).

In all cases the question is whether the J allowance from the long-haul --- regardless of whatever that allowance happens to be -- applies to the connecting short-haul flight ... And in particular if there is any difference due solely to the timing of the purchase of the short-haul connection.



But if you need a concrete example to clarify, let's say YYZ-HKG-SIN -- specifically, with YYZ-HKG in J as the only ticket at check-in, and after arrival at HKG one purchases a HKG-SIN ticket in Y departing same day.


Which of the following is the correct assessment for the luggage allowance on HKG-SIN in Y, departing same day but purchased after arrival from YYZ-HKG in J?


(i) The J allowance for North America
(ii) The J allowance for Asia
(iii) The Y allowance for North America
(iv) The Y allowance for Asia

Thank you.
