With no status you have 20 kg free luggage. The piece concept applies only to/from US. If this is a conncting flight to/from the US, the piece consept still applies.

Thank You
I assume the piece concept means only one piece up to 20 kg

If you are traveling from the US and connecting to this flight, you can check 2 pieces up to 23 kilos each for free. If you are *silver or *gold or are traveling in business or first, you can check 2 pieces up to 32 kilos each.

If you are not connecting from the US to this flight you can check up to 20 kilos for free (can be more than 1 piece)

If you are Star Gold, you can check an additional 20 kilos for free, so a total of 40 kilos (can be more than 1 piece)

If you are Star Silver, you can check an additional 10 kilos for free, so a total of 30 kilos (can be more than 1 piece). Same if you are traveling in Business/ First

I am becoming a luggage expert thanks to you ^
Appreciate the clarification
It is total weight up to two pieces for non elites inter Europe

Because of that rule as I understand it I will take SAS only on a one way flight and do all other legs using connecting flights with BA.

Off topic on luggage
I used to be Gold with United but their partner filtering among other
program and customer service declines left me in the One World orbit as a Sapphire/Plat where I must admit I am happier with overall fairness

If I were SAS I would find other ways to encourage more travel while still imposing fees.
For example the more flights you take with the SAS brand on a journey the costs go down in per flight baggage checks. To give them credit there flights are priced very fairly but the luggage fees excessive IMHO.

Great link! I have tried to get the *gold benefits on SAS verified for quite some time. SAS claimed that I have to check with United to get it verified what benefits Premier Executive gets on SAS, and United naturally directed me back to SAS. They only knew about Eurobonus.
