You *should* have 2PC all the way through, but be prepared to fight with the reservation agent if the TKT is not right. If the TKT is right, then just show it to check-in agent and it should solve the problem. If the TKT is not right, make sure you fight for it before dep with reservation. While it should be 2PC, and my GDS is correctly displaying it, for some reason I've had the experience that CX's own Amadeus system is messing up with bag allowance with US itineraries.

The clause you should look at is at http://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_U...r-journey.html


The US DOT defines international journeys to/from the US as travel that contains more than one country (international travel) with the origin, destination or furthest checked point being in the US. Exceptions imposed by the Department of Transportation of the US Government will be in place.

...

1.For journeys to/from the US, the rules of the first marketing carrier on the journey apply, provided that the first marketing carrier is specified on ATPCO’s (Airline Tariff Publishing Company) published list of US DOT Carriers (defined as carriers where general rules tariffs to/from the US have been filed).

...

3.Once the first marketing carrier is identified (through steps 1 and 2 above), it is the first marketing carrier’s policy to opt for the rules of the Most Significant marketing Carrier (MSC) for the journey or retain the first marketing carrier’s own baggage policy. (Cathay Pacific opts for the rules of the MSC.)

...

2.The whole journey should be taken into account when determining the MSC even if the traveller checks out their baggage at one point during the journey.
