And what is the cabin baggage rules?
I'm a little unclear after the enhancements across all Oneworld airlines at the start of this year.
No. It depends on what the base allowance is of the airline in question

If, for example, travelling on a route where the allowance is 20Kg, then will be allowed a total of 40Kg . If the allowance is one piece of 23Kg, then an extra 1 piece of 23Kg would be allowed
There is no additional allowance on hand luggage. Whatever the airline in question allows , applies to all
Also, be aware if travelling on multiple carriers on a trip , ( unless on trip to/from USA) that the allowance per check in may vary depending on whose allowances apply for that part of the journey
