I think it will be determined by your first flight as your journey ends in the U.S., and IATA rules state that in case the itinerary starts or ends in the U.S., the carrier of your first flight determines your luggage allowance.

Your first carrier however may decide to delegate luggage allowances to the MSC rules, in which case you would have the allowance of the 2nd leg (HND-SFO) as that flight crosses two zones and your first is within one zone. If with JAL, they use the first flight - so in your case, SGN-HND. See: https://www.jal.co.jp/jp/en/info/202...info_iata.html

The easiest way to probably find out is to call the airline up; mixed itineraries can be a hairy beast to deconstruct.

This is a more user-friendly guide to the rules: https://www.airnewzealand.co.uk/most...ficant-carrier
