quick question baggage allowance
Flying SAS this summer TXL to STO economy
Can anyone tell me if they take two bags for free?
It is clear from destinations within the US but not inter Europe
Thanks

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.

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

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.
