Precisely that.

I think that according to the MSC clause it should be... I have flown several times multi-segment trips with airlines with different baggage allowances (mainly when travelling to the Far East, where the allowances are mostly quoted in total weight rather than in weight per piece), and this has always been the case. As a *G I have been allowed to check-in 30kg bags from Europe already even when flying in Y, and the first segment is an intra-European one. Yet since I have never taken my innebandy club on any of these trips, I cannot make a statement about sports equipment or other oddly-shaped items. In practice it may well be that different rules apply to such items.
