Since QR J allowance is 2x 70lbs/32kgs for checked luggage, AS should allow me the same and through check my bags all the way to BOM, given AS/QR are OW and have interline agreements and not have to pay AS baggage fees, correct? Thank you.

When making international connections on a separate ticket to other airlines within twelve (12) hours of arriving in the connection city, you may follow the baggage allowance and weight restrictions of the international airline - provided a ticketing and baggage agreement is in place between Alaska Airlines and the other carrier.

Is it fair to assume that the fact that it states "you may follow the baggage allowance and weight restrictions of the international airline ..." it is implied if international airline does not charge, AS wont either? Apart from allowing the added weight

Maybe i am being nit picky here around the verbiage.....

My guess is you should be prepared to point to this policy when you check in your overweight (by AS standards) luggage at PDX.
