Like previous posters have said, and in my past experience Jet and Kingfisher have been extremely generous in accomodating 2 pieces (2x their regular baggage limit) without any problem. |

Aha.. I hv faced problems with the stopover was for more than 24 hrs if on separate tickets.. If on separate tickets but stopover is less than 24hrs then most airlines will allow and not have a problem.. BUT if stopover is more than 24hrs, there may be problems IME..
Be careful though as not many agents are aware of this privilege. I came in from CMB a year back and carried back 3 Suitcases as my SQ allowance before that was 3PC. Although I was flying business but my colleague was in Economy and he was allowed 3PC too. The check in agent wanted to charge me but I had a print of from a email that I had sent Jet in regards to this. Best bet is to email Jet/AI to get this in written. Although I would suggest emailing AI one year in advance as they take around that long to get back to you. I am not sure which other airlines allow this benefit but would highly recommend Jet as you shouldn't have any problems with them. |

doesn't matter....if you have separate tickets then it doesn't matter whether you are connecting immediately or 10 days later....

On Jet it does as they only allow you 24hrs for giving you the International baggage allowance. Any more and they don't allow the long haul luggage allowance.

that's interesting....a know a bunch of people who were connecting on jet domestic immediately after their international flight & they were denied the international baggage allowance because they did not have one through ticket....
FWIW, I always hv domestic connections in 9w and intl in other airlines and hence always have two different tickets.. |

spicejet does within 24hrs..here is their faq from their website:
Guest travelling to / from USA/ Canada and are connecting to SpiceJet for domestic travel (within 24 hours) may carry 2 bags each; the weight of each bag should not exceed 23 kgs. The total waiver for two bags together will be 46 kilos. Excess baggage rules apply for any additional weight. The dimension of each bag not to exceed 106 inches (length+breath+height). The guest has to provide a valid proof of travel on the international flight (tickets / boarding pass) so, probably out of luck if traveling biz class intl and have a 3bag allowance. Jet has done it based on experience..had trouble only once with them. |
Connecting Intl .. elite status baggage allowance allowed ??
A related query..
While we know of many domestic airlines allowing the intl baggage allowance while connection within 24 hrs, what is the experience of folks who have higher weight allowance in the intl connection because of some status etc with that airline. Say flying CCU - DEL on Jet.. and DEL - FRA on LH.. where because the person has elite status, he/she is allowed 40kgs on weight basis.. In this scenario, do the domestic legs also allow 40kgs if connecting within 24hrs ?? Share experiences please.. Thanks Abhi |

In my experience they go with what the ticket says. So if your ticket says 30kg then that is what they will allow.

yes, but tickets never carry the total baggage allowance including elite allowance.. they only carry the standard for that class and sector of travel ..

Usually Jet doesn't require more than showing your LH (9w partner, last I checked) card to them and you should get the 40kgs, but it depends on how strict they are controlling it at that particular (9w) station...

I know what you mean but the problem is that they just can't keep a track of what every airline allows their FF'ers.
