*G baggage allowance on OZ-marketed codeshare
Hi all, I am looking to fly ICN-RUH with a transit in AUH. Flights are Etihad with OZ code, then Saudia with its own code. First and longest flight is the ICN-AUH flight, OZ marketed. I'm not sure whose stock the ticket would be issued on.

OZ's website says for codeshares on EY, the marketing carrier's rules apply. Does that mean I can get 2x32kg (OZ's standard allowance) + 1x32kg (for A3*G) allowance for the whole route?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that the expanded allowance for elites in this case applies only for those with status with Asiana. What marketing carrier's rules apply means in this case is that OZ's standard (for non-elites) baggage rules apply for the entire journey rather than that of EY (and even getting an agent to honor that might be a challenge), because *A alliance wide benefits like extra free bag for *G apply only when checking in with an *A carrier, of which EY is not.

Thanks. I assume it would be Asiana's excess baggage fees applicable for the whole journey ICN-RUH? No idea how this works.

If the flight is operated by EY then it should be EY's baggage fees.

Really? OZ allowance and EY baggage fees? Well given there's a $700-odd difference between OZ and EY for an extra 30kg bag, that's a real spanner in the works.

I could be wrong in this particular situation, but generally that's how it works. Especially since you're only flying EY and would be checking in with EY in ICN. I haven't flown on EY with an OZ ticket specifically however.
