OWS - Extra baggage allowance
Hi everyone,
I have an upcoming QR itinerary from Luxembourg to Cape Town.
The itinerary is all on one ticket, this ticket was bought on the QR website but the first leg is operated by Lufthansa.
As a OWS I have an extra baggage allowance on all of the oneworlds flights as quoted here:
Since LH is not part of oneworld and will be the airline managing the check-in for the outbound flight, will they offer me the extra allowance QR has to offer me? Will I be able to bring 32 + 15 kg -> 47 kg or my allowance is only 32 kg?
If anyone had a similar experience please feel free to comment, that would be very helpful.

Extra baggage allowance*
As a Sapphire frequent flyer the following special baggage privileges will apply when you fly on oneworld airlines.

*This benefit is not available on British Airways 'Hand Baggage Only' fares on select short-haul routes.

Hi Everyone,
i have a similar question - I'm flying Malaysia Airlines Business class to Sydney from Heathrow next week. The Malaysia Airlines website states that my luggage allowance is 40kg across two bags, however, i'm interested to know what additional allowance I'm entitled to as OWS.
The OneWorld website states the following but only refers to Economy fares:
Can anyone tell me what additional baggage i'm entitled to?
Thanks
