extra bag allowed for no-status companions on same PNR?
I hate to hijack the thread, but it is fairly relevant.
For a companion with no status, will they get the extra baggage allowance?

That's good news and will simplify life ... one day. The question is how the member airlines will implement this. Today they are not even in a position to print boarding passes for connecting skyteam flights despite this being a published benefit (OK cannot print DL, DL cannot print AF), so I'm wondering how they will cope with this, if your status does not show up correctly in the parnter airlines's system, which all too frequently occurs.
But it's a step in the right direction.
