Ticket stock is 014. So it must be AC ticket. correct?

Q1) is there a place where I can see the entire trip using my AC (014) ticket number? (rather than PNR)

PL receipt lists two PNR.
Outbound for LH
Inbound for AC

Each airline's website can see only their own portion (correctly)

Q2) whose baggage rules apply?

- Ticket seem to be on AC stock (014)
- First two segments are on LH which allows two bags
- Return two segments are on AC which allows one bag

Possibilities:
a) Since ticket is on AC, AC rules apply throughout
or
b) Since first segment (which is also first international segment out of US) is on LH, its baggage allowance apply for entire journey (DOT rule from 2012)
or
c) 2 bags on LH on outbound and one bag on AC on inbound


What is a "journey"? An entire ticket or an entire PNR
(this ticket seem to be made up of two separate PNR from two different airlines)


What I do is - if you have your full ticket number - you can use the e-ticket lookup feature on the website for "SV". I do this all the time.

Here you will see the exact fare basis, fare construction, all the segments on the ticket, the real price, taxes - and for each segment - the baggage allowance (which is your contractually allowed amount).

PM me if you don't know where to look and I can show you.
