Did that YYZ- HKG on CX. 3 X 50lbs + carry-on wheelable + backpack. (Someone's moving)
Didn't use luggage cart as it would be even harder to lift those 50lbs onto the cart.
Coming back luggage was also much quicker coming out compared to AC, even when it was raining outside and an announcement was made to that effect.
Service in all areas is much better with CX. Passenger quality no.

Isn't unbundling actually more fair? Plus, people with status get a larger luggage allowance anyway.

They have updated their website to reflect the change.

I wonder how long this will last before they go back to 1 bag. It's nonetheless a welcome change.

Its interesting to note that while AC is waiving the 2nd bag fee for Canada-Asia, If you're flying US-Asia via Canada, the allowance is still 1 bag with the second at $100USD/CAD. Is it going to stay this way or will the website update soon?

Oh well.
