I am curious if Avianca grants additional baggage for Star Gold as it would seem that they don't according to their website. If I fly from Europe, business class includes 2 bags at 32 kg a piece. According to their page on baggage allowance, Star Gold flying in business class can get 2 bags at 32 kg a piece. Just wanted to confirm that this is the case. Seems a bit cheeky.
Cheers.
You are entitled to one extra piece if *A Gold.

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, "Check&Go" fares offered by Brussels Airlines and “Go light” fares offered by SAS as well as on “Seat” fares offered by Air New Zealand, the extra baggage allowance is not offered.
