28% decrease in baggage allowance via USA - will it change your plans?
For Pacific Economy flights, I believe that they will still be running the piece system (2 pieces) , but this will be reduced to a max of 23kg per piece (instead of 32kg).
I was wondering if this might change people's plans for flights to and from the USA and Europe and NZ? I know it is still over double the allowance for flights via Asia, but it is still a large adjustment - a 28% decrease in allowance.
I will certainly be looking twice before flying via the USA now - the stopover in Singapore, Hong Kong or Bangkok may prove too tempting.
