Flying DEL-HKG in Y on AI. I am Star Alliance Gold, so how does the baggage allowance work? Am I allowed only a single bag of 40kg?

I don't know about international, but on a domestic AI flight I was given an additional 20 kg allowance as a star gold.

Hmm...partially true. The weight limit should be 40kg, but there should be no limit on the number of pieces. An Economy ticket gets you a limit of 20 kgs irrespective of the number of pieces, but the *G status should give you 20kgs more.
Cheers, Sumantra.

India - Far East / South East Asia (Except Japan)
Economy Class 20 Kgs.

Quote:
Gold Member of Star Alliance would continue to be permitted an additional 20Kgs of baggage allowance in Economy Class


Hence total allowance of 20+20 kgs = 40Kgs. This cannot be in one bag (legal limit is 32kgs/bag), and can be across 3-4 bags if needed.
