Hand luggage booking only in J?
So I booked LGW ANU for October out PE and return Club world as redemption flights. Availability opened up so booked CW both directions with the avios team have prebooked seats, but the luggage allowance on the outbound leg is showing as no checked luggage return is as expected 2x32lb bags. Is this a ticketing glitch and do I need to worry ?

As with all minor glitches in software, best to simply call when convenient to confirm the correct allowance.

I think this forum has seen this glitch - HBO on a Club World ticket, particularly a redemption one - about once every 3 months in the good old days. TTmex was an example of this, I remember it happening at the time. Some things evidently don't change, but you do get a checked baggage allowance, no question of that. I'm not sure calling up would do any good, to be honest.

This is a very common problem which happens everytime I either call to add the return leg of a 241, or amend an existing flight. Checked baggage allowance is not displayed until the flights are ticketes - which in these cases is a manual back office process. Normally I get to see the baggage allowance a week or so after booking - but I do have a LGW>PUJ reservtion that I made in March for next January that is still unticketed and therefore still showing no checked baggage allowance.
