Second, UA website, always shows me baggage allowance as per check-in carrier rules, and premier additional allowance is not shown for partner carriers. Is UA website wrong?
Would a partner airline really follow UA baggage rules, instead of their own, at check-in? Seems like it would be hard for the agents to keep track of different airline rules.
I thought it was 5 (and not sure limited to UA), but I could be wrong.
Yes, UA's baggage rules can apply throughout the journey - the whole point is to allow the baggege rules to remain consistent throughtout for the pax. And yes, airlines can and do folow OALs bag rules. IIRC, there is a place in the ticket where baggage allowance is embeded, and that is the allowance the agent would see, so its not so much about memorizing rules from any carrier in particular.
