Baggage allowance on RTW ticket legs ?
Her indoors and I recently flew UK-Australia-USA-UK on a Qantas round-the-world ticket, with sectors on EK, QF, AA and BA.
EK, QF and BA were all happy to accept our 30kg checked baggage allowance on the international legs. We'd been warned that AA's in-flight service was the pits (it didn't disappoint), but we weren't prepared for a bolshie check-in agent at SFO who maintained that our baggage allowance on the AA leg to JFK was non-existent and that unless we stumped up $25 per bag they wouldn't fly.
Granted, $50 isn't a huge amount in the overall scheme of things, but I'd be interested to know whether this is something we should have foreseen, or if we were diddled.
