CO Baggage
Just had the same thing with Delta!
Booked back in March and the allowance rules changed after that, took four
goes before Customer services stopped sending me a link to the baggage
rules web page and actually answered the question!
I'm going to assume you meant via EWR (Newark).
I've just looked at the CO baggage policy and it's similar to the foul morass
that is Delta's baggage rules.
With Delta, provided it was before May 15th (IIRC) the old 2 bag rule applied,
however, after that the new one bag and $xx for the second, eventually they
wrote me a 'get out of Check-in free' mail I could take 'just in case', they
also appended a note to the booking saying 2persons, 2 bags to 23Kg each free.
I'd suggest you approach CO for something similar, can't hurt and may
save a lot of trouble on the way back.
No problems at all, except, a bag full of Cave diving eqiuipment took the long
way round and arrived the next day via Heathrow... Oddly enough, this was
the only one that HADN'T been checked by the TSA! Really would have thought the
'held for inspection' bags were more at risk! They were also good enough to check
the bags through to Cancun from Manchester and vice-versa. This
saved a lot of time collecting and re-checking bags in Atlanta.
Good luck, let us know how many goes it takes to get an answer that's not a
cut and paste!
