Hi everyone,
I have an upcoming QR itinerary from Luxembourg to Cape Town.
The itinerary is all on one ticket, this ticket was bought on the QR website but the first leg is operated by Lufthansa.
As a OWS I have an extra baggage allowance on all of the oneworlds flights as quoted here:
Extra baggage allowance*
As a Sapphire frequent flyer the following special baggage privileges will apply when you fly on oneworld airlines.
On international or domestic itineraries using the baggage allowance "weight" system - 15 kgs in addition to the ticketed Economy baggage allowance.
On international or domestic itineraries using the baggage allowance "piece" system - one additional bag*, weighing up to 23 kgs, up to a maximum of two pieces.
* On purely domestic itineraries, using the baggage allowance "piece" system, with no ticketed baggage entitlement - the assurance of at least one piece of checked baggage, weighing up to 23 kgs.
Customers travelling in First and Business Class cabins will in most cases receive an even greater free checked baggage allowance.
*This benefit is not available on British Airways 'Hand Baggage Only' fares on select short-haul routes.
*For domestic routes operated by LAN Airlines, Sapphire cardholders may check in up to two bags with a combined weight not exceeding 23 kgs.
Since LH is not part of oneworld and will be the airline managing the check-in for the outbound flight, will they offer me the extra allowance QR has to offer me? Will I be able to bring 32 + 15 kg -> 47 kg or my allowance is only 32 kg?
If anyone had a similar experience please feel free to comment, that would be very helpful.
