[QUOTE=karthik]I was travelling in J. The carryon limit for J/F is 2 pieces at 18kg total, vs 1 piece+1 personal item at 12kg total for Y. For checked bags US-Asia you also seem to get a slightly higher dimensional allowance (158cm total per bag in F/J, vs 273cm total for both bags in Y), though still the same 2x32kg. Anywhere else in the world, of course, is the standard 20kg/30kg/40kg for Y/J/F. (Even SYD-ICN-NRT: the "Transpacific Region" note on the website is misleading; any chance you could mention this to someone who might be able to clear up the wording?)

Oh yeah, technically the carry-on luggage should be 18 kg TOTAL but at least at ORD the only carryon we usually ask the pax to place on the scale is the main bigger item and see if it is over 12 or below. I guess this depends on each airport station but at out station if the bigger item below 12kg and the other one doesn't seem too bad, we never really ask the pax for the second item.
