Hello, I have a multi-segment trip on a Star Alliance award (booked via United) for BWI-CPH (via YYZ) on Air Canada, then CPH-LHR on SAS and finally LHR-IAD on UAL. I'm Star Alliance silver so know I get 2 50lb bags on the Air Canada and United segments, but according to the SAS website, I'd only get 1 20kg piece.

Is this right or does the fact that the itinerary includes other airlines with greater limits help me out? It would seem a little crazy to be stuck with the lowest limit for the trip.

Thanks to anyone who can sort this out.

hi,

Your ticket probably says what the baggage allowance is for each sector.

Since this is award ticket, I would assume that they are a single ticket, and so the piece concept should apply for the entire journey. But, I don't know. Look at your e-ticket. somewhere in there it'll either say 20KG or 2PCS.

If this was a paid ticket, then it would depend on how they were ticketed. If they are all in the same ticket, then the 2 piece concept should apply. When they are ticketed separately, then there will be issues on the CPH-LHR sector noting that SAS can be a bit of a 'stick to the rule book' , so you should prepare. I am assuming that you have a stopover in CPH.

I am currently on a trip where the first and last leg are 20KG only sector, whereas the rest are 2PC (*A Circle Pacific) sector. All flights/sectors are on the same PNR, but are ticketed differently. Since I am traveling with only one bag around 20K.. it's not a problem, but if i had more bags and a stopover before the last segment, that sure would have created issues.

cheers!! enjoy CPH..

Thanks - I really can't find where it says it on my e-ticket. I guess I'll call later today.

BTW, there are three different legs to the trip.
