As an Emerald frequent flyer, the following special checked baggage privileges will apply when you fly on oneworld airlines: On itineraries using the baggage allowance “weight” system - 20 kgs in addition to the ticketed-cabin allowance. On itineraries using the “piece system” - one additional bag for free in addition to your ticketed baggage allowance.”

But Alaska has had problems with issuing QR awards with luggage allotment “attached”. Not sure if it only applies to J tickets, and I think I have seen reports for at least another airline being affected as well.

So I would be weary in general with any AS awards. I think the DOT requires airlines to show any applicable baggage allowance and fees on the ticket receipt, so I would definitely print that.
Thank you for your reply.
I am wondering if the AS award ticket fare class could be issued as :
EI :intra european saver fare or Finnair light economy or BA hand luggage only or AA Basic economy ,where there is no checked luggage included.
I had an experience with an award ticket in Brazil ,issued by AA , to fly GOL airlines where no luggage was included.
