So if I fly ABQ (AA) - DFW (JAL) - NRT (JAL) - SIN
and book via JAL.

Base on their website because my first flight is AA does that mean I only get 2 baggage check in? I know that if booked via AA it should be 3 based Sapphire (platinum with AA). Because my first flight is domestic ABQ - DFW.

Because if I look on JAL website and sapphire for international, the allowance should be 3?

Other question is I’m assuming that Gold for Star alliance is only 2 baggage if I did ABQ- DFW- DOH - SIN for qatar airlines?

Really appreciate your input
What class? First, business or economy?
QR Qatar is a Oneworld airline:- not a Star alliance airline.

***Extra baggage allowance for Sapphire frequent flyers
As a Sapphire frequent flyer, the following special checked baggage privileges will apply when you fly on oneworld airlines:
  • On international or domestic itineraries using the baggage allowance "weight" system - 15 kgs in addition to the ticketed Economy Class baggage allowance.
  • On international itineraries, that include domestic sectors, using the baggage allowance “piece” system – one additional bag*, weighing up to 23kgs, up to a maximum of two pieces.
  • On purely domestic itineraries, using the baggage allowance "piece" system, for tickets with no ticketed baggage entitlement - the assurance of one piece of checked baggage, weighing up to 23 kgs.
Customers travelling in First and Business Class cabins will, in most cases, receive an even greater free checked baggage allowance.

Note: This benefit is not available on British Airways’ 'Hand Baggage Only/Basic' fares.

*In accordance with the individual policy of the oneworld airline operating the flight. **Priority baggage handling is not currently available on flights operated by British Airways.

Exceptions may apply.
