FARE Class for Extra Baggage?
Travelling one-way TLV/ORD. I'm looking for the most liberal A'Advantage Partner in terms of baggage allowance, and which class of fare to purchase from that airline.
So far, the best deal is consistantly on Turkish (Iberia only gives 30% mileage credit).
I flew El Al M-class here, and was allowed three bags at 35 kilos with no additional charge. I ultimately will take four bags, and two may be overweight.
Any suggestions?

How did you manage to get 3 35KG suitcases on board with LY when flying in coach?
Especially in the USA, airlines have the right to refuse bags over 32KG and take overweight charge over 23KG unless you have some status with them. I suggest looking for other ways to ship the bags other than the airline - FedEx, cargo shipping etc - it might be cheaper than overweight charges of the airlines.
