Baggage allawance on one world explorer?
I have a segment from Madrid to Cairo on Iberia. I asked about the baggage allawance, was told 20 Kilos. I explained to the agent that this is on a 4 continet ticket were the allawance from North America to europe is 64 kilos (2 pcs). She did not seem to know much about what I am saying.
Does any one know how it works? I am entitled for 64 kilos right through the trip or once you enter a region you are bound by the luggae allawonce rule between the two cities?
Thanks

You are entitled to the piece rule.

Thanks guys, I checked my ticket and it does not say how many pcs. they did not fill it in i guess.
I had my ticket reissued once and both the original and teh reissued ticket are blank.
I have to reissue the ticket anyway. Should I ask teh agent to indicate it? . and if I have a hard time (since some times the agent does not know the rules on OWE what should I do?
thanks again

Yes - make sure the reissue shows the baggae allowance - very strange that twice it has not been shown. When you go to get the reissue done take a copy of the fare rules with you. Go here:

and print them out. The baggage rule is near the bottom.

Thanks guys,
Just got my ticket rissued. This time the 2 pcs are written on all the segments.
I think,the agent did not know that there was a box where she can write down the pcs??
She was not sure, anther agent pointed out to her where to do it.
I think without flyertalk travel would be difficult
keep the good work
cheers
