On the topic of bags where pieces system (mostly North America route) I would assume 2 pieces with 32kg each (64kg total) is pretty darn good. I never had issue on baggage allowances because I travel with hand luggage only and when I had to relocate I had family with us so pooled allowance was pretty generous. 1 extra piece so total 32x3kg is available to OWE, rightly so given how expensive freight is.

Many don't realize but to me extra-baggage is the most tangible benefits of all OW benefits. Try sending 32kg by DHL, probably cost more than your air ticket... as to F-class lounge you can get any food/drink for less than 100USD at airport.
