It is an excellent point but some carriers indeed do this.
I had a P class RTW purchased from NZ (the airline, not the country).
As the SYD-AKL flight - much like the FLR-FRA hop - does not have an F
cabin, the NZ check-in warden did not want to grant me 40 kg luggage
allowance. All arguing did not help - the paper ticket said P and I was
*G. She invented to rule that if there is no F cabin, there is no F luggage
allowance.
In the end I managed to get her call a supervisor and won for the *G benefit.
But oddly enough the supervisor upheld the "no cabin no allowance rule"
,
probably mainly because I demanded an excuse for what the obnoxious check-
in cleark said to me.
I can also confirm the strictness of the FLR staff. My friend was on an award
Y ticket FLR-FRA and D FRA-SIN. She had 27 kg of luggage and they insisted
that she could not possibly check this much. We had to beg quite badly.
20kg excess on a F ticket is not much after all. So I feel that they could
have handled this more elegantly.
