| Airline change and luggage capacity
Hey all, I will be flying JAL from HK to Japan on Sunday and they allow up to 32kg for checked in luggage. Japan is a transfer for me and I will be flying Air Canada from Japan to Vancouver which allows for up to 23kg in luggage.
When I check in at HKG, and they weigh my luggage and lets say it is 30kg. Obviously in Japan they transfer my luggage for me, will I get charged by Air Canada for excessive weight? Because usually in transfers, you don't go up to any counter, just to the next terminal or whatever and get ready to board when the time is right.
Obviously if I get charged extra, then I will just make my luggage 23kg in HKG, but that would be more of a hassle. So basically, if I transfer airlines, does AC rules not really apply?
Thanks for those who reply

I'm guessing you're going to get charged but instead of me or anyone else speculating on this weird situation why not call the horse yourself?
Since I'm in a helpful mood I'll make it real easy 1-888-247-2262. I'd come over and dial for you but we've never met. http://www.aircanada.com/en/travelin...ssbaggage.html
Cheers

Just an update to those who have my situation in the future.
I talked to JAL at HKG and they told me that the first airline you take, it should be their rules that you follow through-out the whole trip, even if you switch airlines. Meaning because JAL's rules are 32kg luggage maximum, and Air Canada is 23, but because I flew JAL first, I can bring 32kg with AC without a problem.
The AC website seems to say otherwise, but I just did it and didn't get charged.

For most airlines (I'd say 99% of major airlines) usually rules of your first leg of travel precedes all your flights thereonafter.

Yes +1 on what Bcrdukes said. The rule only applies to the first leg of the trip. They can't make you take items out on the second half of the trip when you're transfering.
Hmm but weird I was under the impression that almost all airlines are now using the 23kg rule. Hmm guess I was wrong.

Case in point - on my last trip - first leg was Air Canada, second leg was United. Air Canada has free first bag policy, United charges for every bag. I didn't have to pay for the bag I checked on that trip. Hence, first leg trumps everything else.

But this doesn't apply to codeshare flights.
So if you book an Air Canada flight to Portland and it's operated by United, United's rules will apply!

If it's a codeshare flight, it all depends on whose plane it is. If it's a United plane that you're getting on, you're paying what United asks for, even if it's sold through Air Canada.
