i dont think it is made very obvious that Light fares are exempt from *A baggage benefit, but that is just my personal opinion


booking page - many would ignore the listed baggage part because we've been conditioned from hundreds to literally thousands of flights under status that we have additional baggage bonus. it would reason to add here (1 x Hand Baggage only *no free checked baggage even for frequent flyers)




next page - still hidden. same rationale as before. why explore it if this baggage policy runs contrary to years of flying history



lastly, links goes to a catch-all baggage page. the first sentence highlighted, only implies but does not make explicit the Light vs *S/*G situation.

and then buried on the bottom is this bit about Light fare. that the sentence is mostly repetion of the sentence on the top makes it a bit confusing





not going to split hairs here and claim LX is being deceitful, but it obviously is not well-communicated this new fare class and fare policy
