Hey everyone, I have never had this issue before, but wanted to know if its normal or not.

I started a DONE4 in Australia, and as a Sapphire OW flyer, was allowed to take 3 checked bags out of the coutry on my Qantas flight.

So far, BA and IB have had no issues with this, but in the USA, I am getting charged $80 every flight I am making.

I was under the assumption, since the OW www site says

"When you are traveling on a oneworld itinerary* you will have the same allowance for checked baggage on all your flights and our staff will advise you of the applicable carry-on allowances for each sector of your journey before it becomes a hassle."

that the other alliance members would allow me to travel with the number of bags I was allowed to start with...

On this trip before, I have never had an issue.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
