I am QR Platinum flying QF domestic in J. I note that the J allowance is one piece (amx 32 kg).

At: Checked baggage | Qantas GB it states

oneworld partners

Tiered frequent flyers from our oneworld partner airlines may be eligible for additional checked baggage when flying on Qantas.

The below table outlines the total baggage allowance for oneworld tiered passengers:Outlining checked baggage allowances by oneworld tier membershipTicketed Economy Allowanceoneworld

Meaning I get 1 x 32 & 2 x 23, but at:

https://www.oneworld.com/travel-bene...world-priority it states:

Emerald Privileges: Extra baggage allowance*** ***Extra baggage allowance for Emerald frequent flyers

As an Emerald frequent flyer, the following special baggage privileges will apply when you fly on oneworld airlines:
  • On itineraries using the baggage allowance “weight” system - 20 kgs in addition to the ticketed cabin allowance.
  • On itineraries using the “piece system” - one additional bag for free in addition to your ticketed baggage allowance.
Does that mean 1 x 32 for J plus 1 x 32 for Emerald

Really confusing, as I will have 6 bags to check in, and need to ensure I purchase the correct excess luggage.
