If you had a J Reward Ticket (DBX to SFO) courtesy of Alaska Miles and a Gold Status, you still do not get the extra Luggage (Business get extra Baggage), Because it was not a Purchased Ticket? we checked two days before Flight and it was noted on the Record that Business Flights do get Extra Baggage allowance. But upon check in, we were told $800.00 Dollars extra or Leave suitcase Behind. we ended up Giving suitcase & clothes,etc to Uber Driver.
We were not the Only one that Day. more than 10 people were noted emptying their DXB/SFOsuitcases in DBX Business Terminal.
For DXB/SFO, piece concept applies.
If you bag was ‘3.5 lbs extra’, it means it was above the 32 Kgs limit (for J and F) and it is not allowed, no matter what status you hold (it’s a Heath and Safety rule).
