I'm a little bit confused about my baggage allowance. Economy Flex offers 30kg, Business offers 40kg, and K6 offers 23kg for economy. My understanding is that EK allows multiple pieces of luggage, while K6 only allows one.
I don't see what my baggage allowance is on the manage my booking page. Any idea what it should be?
K6 does not operate a J cabin on that route, it is sold as Y only even though the aircraft may have a physical J cabin as the 321 are ex VN with business class seats still in there.
In some instances the baggage allowance is based on the "Most significant carrier", but in others is based on the first carrier.
Look on the PDF ticket from Emirates they would have emailed you, see if that shows any baggage allowance information. You may have to call or chat EK and see what they say.
I think in this scenario K6 is going to say their baggage allowance applies and you will be only allowed 1 checked at 23kg. I have flown K6 quite a few times and their ground staff are not all that helpful so I wouldn't even expect them to honor even if Emirates says it is higher. They are also strict on carry-on, so when they say 7kg they mean 7kg so don't try to bring a bunch of cabin baggage.
Unrelated side note, K6 has re-branded as Air Cambodia as of Jan 2025 from Cambodia Angkor Air.
