Baggage Allowance
I'm flying Bangalore to Newark through Continental. Since Continental does not fly from Bangalore directly I'm flying Kingfischer from Bangalore to Bombay. Then I take Continental from Bombay to Newark.
I'm a star gold. Will Kingfischer honor the Baggage allowed by Continental for Star Gold? Does anybody have any experience.
I did contact the airliner. I'm getting conflicting answers.

I don't see why Kingfischer would have to. Unless maybe you booked that flight under a CO flight number. KF isn't a member of Star Alliance as far and I can tell. So you'll probably have to pay for baggage.

Thank You.
Its true that the baggage allowance depends on Kingfisher's policy. However when I traveled last month with a similar itinerary KF -> Continental, I asked the check in agent whether they would honor the baggage allowance what Continental offered. The answer was YES.
I have written to their customer care. I'm waiting to hear from them as I cannot go by the word of mouth.
Does anybody have any first hand experience?
Also, when I traveled last month, KF did honor my Delta GOLD status and allowed me lounge access although KF is not a part of Skyteam either. They just partner with Delta.
