Having read that this may not be the case, I asked them to note my PNR as such, and had no issues along the way. It’s only AS that made a fuss about it, and I only had two bags that were slightly over…

Anyway, that’s not the point. I just wanted to give some feedback on a question I had raised back before I booked my AONE3. And I did think it interesting that AA was even willing to confirm by phone that I’d be entitled 3x32 since that was the allowance on the previous segment. I wasn’t necessarily expecting it, and wouldn’t even necessarily expect it from BA when I fly down to NCE.

The crux question now for me is about the no show/change fees and how they are applied. So if anyone knows that, I’d appreciate feedback.
What's your e-ticket actually say for your allowance? AA has always been 3 x 32kg for domestic first. I'm actually quite surprised that AS is only 2 x 23kg for theirs, seems to be an outlier in the US and something I need to keep in mind this summer as I have a segment on them during a RTW. I may have to take an extra duffel bag with me to split into 3 pieces under 23kg vs 2pc closer to my normal 32kg, although my e-ticket actually does specifically say 2x 32kg (before my status +1) so maybe will be ok.
