Which *A has best baggage allowances?
 

I'm looking at flights from LHR-BKK that I'll be booking with UA miles. I am booking in Y for a passenger with no status.

I'm trying to figure out which airline has the best baggage allowance. So far Thai seems to be the worst (1 bag 20kg, $55 each additional kg) and Egyptair the best (2 bags, 23kg each). Not a lot of Egyptair flights, though. LH offers one 23kg bag and an additional one for 150 eur.

Do any of the other *A carriers offer two bags or a relatively cheap addition of a second bag?

You mention that you're booking in J - for LH the J allowance is 2 pieces up to 32kg each. (LH baggage page)

Sorry, that was wishful thinking. I edited it to say economy.

EU-BKK are based on weight system. I think TG is 20kg total. So 2 bags must not be more than 20kg combined.

SQ gives 30kg for Y passenger.

MS really gives you 2 pcs at 23kg each! So they are your best bet!
They have daily flights connecting between LHR and BKK in CAI.

Thanks, Guy Betsy! I didn't realize that SQ had upped their allowance. I wasn't able to get a flight on MS (I'm doing an award booking through UA) so I went with SQ.

My only concern is that it says on my receipt that I have a 20kg baggage allowance. Is this something I should worry about? I assume it's just because they haven't updated their systems since SQ changed their baggage policy.
