Weird - my sis just booked an economy LHR-BOM-HKG/HKG-BOM-GOI/GOI-BOM-LHR ticket on 9w.com all on one ticket and the LHR segments show 46kgs baggage allowance while all the other segments show 20kg. I suppose she's going to be limited to 20kg then?

if she is not breaking her journey on any one of the sectors then she will be fine with the 46kgs allowance....

Or is it that for the outbound trip from LHR, she will be fine with 46 kgs, but for the inbound trip, she will be constrained by the first leg, so 20kgs for return?

she should get in touch with jet before her first flight....it would be very strange if she were allowed more on one leg & less on the other when flying on the same airline....

If on the inbound to LHR, if the India to LHR leg allows 46kgs and she is connecting domestically to the intl flight, then she will be allowed 46 kgs on that connecting 9W flight also..

Please be advised that on the website we do the combination of different fares together in order to provide the cheapest fare to our guests.
Therefore the baggage allowance varies as per the fare rule and hence we are unable to provide a single baggage allowance on the entire ticket.
.They did not confirm if the allowances were per passenger or the total allowance for the two passengers on the booking (i.e. 23kgs and 10kgs pp). Jet airways web site is not much help either. Any ideas anyone?

If this is the case and the return leg is on jet airways itself and on same PNR, then u will be allowed 46kgs on the GOI - BOM leg also..I hv myself done it earlier and infact it was on different PNR's but intl flight within 12 hrs of the domestic flt..

From the above, i guess ur journey is from LHR - COK with a change in BOM.. and then return leg from GOI - LHR with a change in BOM..

If the weight allowances on the ticket is different (eg 20kgs), then isnt a passenger assuming a risk by thinking 46kgs will be allowed ---- cant Jet airways at the airport charge much Rs Rs Rs saying only 20kgs written on ticket etc?

IME, whenever you are flying a domestic leg connecting to or from an intl leg and its under the same PNR and travel within 24hrs of the intl leg, the allowance for the intl leg is allowed.. It used by many folks who travel from their home town to Delhi /Bom/Blr to connect onwards and I have also used this multiple times..
