Baggage now 23kgs and not PC
Maybe old news, but I just bought a xCIRCxx and noticed the baggage is 2x23 kgs and not PC. Rules for xONEx are the same. I presume this is the latest enhancement?
Also noticed that all of Russia (east and west of the Urals) is "Europe"

xCIRCxx does not involve the Americas, so PC does not apply. PC only applies to itineraries involving the Americas. I don't think there is any change to the rule.

xCIRCxx contains America.
23kgx2 is a modified PCs, 2 pieces of 23kg instead of 32kg.
http://www.oneworld.com/content/libr...rule_sheet.pdf
says
Two free pieces of 23 kilos each shall be permitted.
Additional allowance may apply.
Refer to individual carrier websites.
Some airlines permit only 23kg x 2 for economy class.
Almost(all ?) of airlines permits 32kg x 2 for business/first classes for amrican routes.
So, a little complicated description is used.

OT.
Urals ref obviously planning for S7 joining oneworld. Also reference in section 4h of OWE Rules that you can only have two segments flying over the Urals.

Indeed. This is likely to result in lots of discussions at check-in with the agent saying the ticket only says 23kg per bag and us saying that the airline website says 32kg per bag.

I speculate that this new rule was written for L class tickets. I suggest that there might be a later addition to cover an increased allowance for D and A classes.

There is no complicated issue. If you have 2x23Kg and you have issues checking the bags in , then you may have some recourse. If you take luggage over the 23Kg or more than 3 pieces and you get charged excess baggage fees, then that's a risk you are taking yourself

2x23Kg meets the lowest common deonominator. Anything beyond that is at airline discretion
