Hello,

I just received my *G card from Aegean.

I will fly in some days on a route operated by Continental and LH. I will check in with CO....so what will be my baggage allowance 2 or 3 bags as a *G?

Thx.

its very easy to find this on CO website and a simple search here.

http://www.continental.com/CMS/en-US...geChecked.aspx


Star Gold members, including Continental Presidential Platinum, Platinum, and Gold Elite members are allowed to check up to 3 bags, each with a maximum weight of 70 lbs and a maximum outside dimension of 62 linear inches.

The CO website has two different pages with two different answers. It it clear as mud.

I believe the answer is still 3x70# but the CO website is not completely clear on the topic.

Depends on which page you look at and which page they look at. They say in one area

Star Gold members, including Continental Presidential Platinum, Platinum, and Gold Elite members are allowed to check up to 3 bags, each with a maximum weight of 70 lbs and a maximum outside dimension of 62 linear inches.
And in another section they say

Star Alliance Gold members get their first and second checked bag fees waived
I have never had a problem getting three bags on them as a star gold if that is any help.

Some news maybe: I ask the continental representative about these rules directly at airport and they told me that as a *S you get 2 bags of 50 pounds checked...and as a *G you get also 2 bag of 70 pounds checked..

so maybe this is another version....
