Extra bag allowed?
On the Skyteam website (http://www.skyteam.com/about/miles/benefits.html) I can't find anything if an extra bag is allowed as an Elite Plus member.
Is there no policy about this for ST? Which airline does allow it and which doesn't?

I really hope there will be some consistency in the future regarding extra bags on ST.

No, you don't. It is the OP's question.
It depends on the operating carrier policy.
I sumarized what I found on ST carriers website. Some of them say the extra allowance is also for ST E/E+ members but some do not. In the latter case, I specified the extra allowance for its own loyal customer. Finally, some airlines use piece and weight concept depending on the route.
Aeroflot: +1PC for E/E+
Aeromexico: +1PC 10kg max for E, +1PC 20kg max for E+ and other larger rules for specific dates and routes
Aireuropa: +1PC for FB Elite but nothing about ST E/E+
Airfrance: +1PC for E/E+
Alitalia: +1PC for its elite clients but nothing about ST E/E+
China Eastern: +10kg/+20kg for its elite clients
China Southern: 1PC or +10kg/+20kg (depending on the route lugage concept) for its elite customer
Czech Airlines: +1PC for ST E/E+
Delta: +1PC for ST E/E+ (23kg max in Y, 32kg in J)
KLM: +1PC for ST E/E+
Kenya Airways: nothing stated except on the FB part of the website
Korean Air: +1PC or +10kg/+20kg/+30kg for Morning Calm members
Tarom: +1PC for ST E/E+ members
Vietnam Airlines: +10kg/+15kg/+25kg or +0/+1/+1PC. The two first tiers are ST E but the first one doesn't allow you an extra bag. And, again, nothing written for ST E/E+
The list is not contractual and I am not responsible if there is a mistake, in any way. I decline all responsability if anything happens, even if your extra allowance is granted.
If you see a mistake, please tell me. If you experience it, let me know.

But for Vietnam Airlines for example, baggage benefit equal to Golden Lotus card holder, i always got 25kgs extra for FB Gold = GLP Platinum in SIN
Never try in other airport.

In May I flew AF to ORD and the next day I flew ORD to SFO with Delta.
I did the check-in with my two bags and it was NO problem.
To be sure I called Delta in Amsterdam in advance and they confirmed that situation.

There is nothing stated on skyteam.com. But after looking on all ST airlines, I summed up the extra allowance I found. Some airlines do offer extra allowance for ST E/E+.
