Can you post a link to where the *A rules clearly says that? I'm sure it is there somewhere, but all I could find on staralliance.com was
You can take an extra 20 kg (44 pounds) where the weight concept applies or an extra piece where the piece concept applies.
Some airlines do not offer this benefit on individual flights but only on connecting Star Alliance flights. Within Europe on "Light" fares offered by Lufthansa, Austrian & SWISS and "Check&Go" fares offered by Brussels Airlines, the extra baggage allowance is not offered.
This is under "Benefits" / "Details". So no mention that seat only fares are generally excluded from the *A perk.
