Just a pity that it's sometimes necessary to use the second string airlines such as QF and CX.

It is better than getting slugged for excess baggage for the whole trip ; unless travelling solely on QF I ensure that I stay within the posted limits; just because Star does it, doesn't mean that OW should.
It is pretty seamless, but it is unreasonable to expect that a home airlines extra benefits to be offered by others
