Luggage allowance on an SQ flight - Aeroplan reward ticket
Got a reward ticket from CDG to SIN on SQ, issued by Aeroplan. I assume the check-in luggage allowance would be 20/30/40kg depending on class of travel. However, on the ticket itself, "2PC" was printed under "Luggage Allowance", and we often assume this to mean "2PC with each piece not weighing more than 32kg". Thoughts ?

Eticket ot Paper Ticket
Yes but you could point out that stated on the printed ticket that it says 2PC. After all it is not your mistake it is SQ or AC's. The question is do you have a paper ticket or an E ticket. If it is a printed ticket I wouldn't worry about it but if it is an eticket you dont always see all the details of the ticket so they could claim different if they wanted to be difficult. If it clearly says 2PC I would go with 2PC and keep them at or under 30KG and you should be fine.
