Two (2) pieces 32kg (70lbs) each piece with total dimensions 158cm (62ins) allowed for each piece
Then, it lists:
All other International routes (including travel wholly between Europe and South America, Spain & the Caribbean and travel wholly between South and Central America
First 40kg (88lbs)
Business 30kg (66lbs)
Economy 20kg (44lbs)
British Airways Premium Economy and Economy 23kg (51lbs)
So, I guess you need to look at your itinerary and chose the most restrictive luggage limit for any one flight sector.
The One World Explorer and Global Explorer tickets both have the piece based luggage allowance for the whole itinery so on most carriers that would be 2 pieces of no more than 32Kg each ; I don't know what will occur with AAs new screwed up 23Kg limit per bag; for me it is yet another incentive to use another carrier.
