There is no 2-piece allowance on domestic flights unless booked as a single trip combined with a qualifying international flight. Now sometimes the rule may be waived, but it depends on the agent and on the phase of the moon rather than on the airline.
I have had luggage fees waived by Jet, Deccan and Kingfisher after stopovers, even though the 2-piece allowance only applies to connections. I've never tried to do this with separate tickets, and even if I had, my experience would not translate to a general rule. |

If the answer is, I can/could have done but it's far more expensive, then that's the cost of (a) the extra baggage allowance and (b) an airline rebooking you if the previous flight is delayed / cancelled. |
Jet Airways is a partner for Etihad .. I have never faced problems with 2 peice concept or baggage when I am on an intl connection within 12 hrs with 9w..If u r on a full service airline connectinv to an intl airline, ur international baggae allownace will be allowed as per my experience..

Hi
I have done 2 piece check in with Jet, Jet connect, KingFisher, Spice Jet by showing my international ticket, though I booked the indian domestic sector seperately. Again this is from my experience. |

As mentioned earlier, KF / Jet airways have been known to allow 2 Piece Luggage if there is International Arrival / Departure within 24 Hrs (Even if the Domestic Ticket is booked separately).
Look thru the FAQ or E mail the Customer Service. I have done it few times with Paramount Airways. |
i check 2 bags on jet domestic all the time....but keep in mind, i am traveling business & have the citi jet card which gives me extra allowance....but in all my years of traveling with jet i have never had a problem checking in 2 bags....

Thanks every one for your responses. So it looks like I should stick to a full service carrier (KF, Jet). The one thing I forgot to mention was, that it is not an immediate connection within 24 hours. My domestic segment commences a few days after I arrive in India.

You should have given the full story from the beginning. It doesn't matter what carrier you are on. You will have to pay for excess luggage.
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. |
