I have a ticket BKK-HKG on TG. From HKG, I have a seperate ticket on KL to AMS.
My e-ticket receipt said 20kg allowance. Anyway, I thru checked my bag from BKK to AMS. It only weighed 23kg as I had packed a carry on since I was staying the night in HKG.
But interestingly enough when I did on line check in tonight, the KL sector showed up as being allowed 30kg !
So has something changed? So it looks like I can off load the extra carry on as checked luggage to AMS after all! Its a little heavier now with some extra shopping in HKG!
