Baggage question on mixed COS award
I booked a great reward flight using AC miles on several *A carriers. Everything is booked into C (well 'I' but you know what I mean) except for the SIN-MLE leg on SQ452 which I had to accept a Y segment for.
I check availability every day in case something opens up but the departure date draws nearer and nothing changes.
I am going to be bringing a bunch of dive gear with me and will likely be taking 2 moderate size bags. Will SQ let me bring the C allowance or will they limit me to the Y allowance?

Y allowance is now 30kg.
If you are over that, you may show the check in agent / ticket counter at airport that you are on a C class ticket but you just can't get on. They're usually quite ok with that.
Does any part of your ticket include travel to/from North America?
Then the North American piece system allowance applies. ie 2 pieces at 23kg each.

The full itin is:
YVR-TPE-SIN on BR C
SIN-MLE on SQ Y
CMB-BKK on TG C
BKK-PEK-YVR on CA C
So there are North American legs, but they are separated by both different carriers and dates. SQ hasn't replied to the email I sent to reservations yet either.
