Additional baggage allowance as QF Gold / OW Sapphire on QR Economy O fare

[exLXCXFF]

Hi all

I find super confusing / contradicting information about the additional vs non-additional baggage allowance on a QR Economy O class fare (SIN - DOH - AYT) being QF Gold.

Has anyone recently flown with QR in economy and made use of additional OW benefits and were they honored by Qatar Airways?

Economy O gives you 25 kg standard, but I need about 3 kg more which I would get via QF Gold at least theoretically.

Thanks!

As a Sapphire frequent flyer, the following special checked baggage privileges will apply when you fly on oneworld airlines: On international or domestic itineraries using the baggage allowance "weight" system - 15 kgs in addition to the ticketed Economy Class baggage allowance. On international itineraries, that include domestic sectors, using the baggage allowance “piece” system – one additional bag*, weighing up to 23kgs, up to a maximum of two pieces. On purely domestic itineraries, using the baggage allowance "piece" system, for tickets with no ticketed baggage entitlement - the assurance of one piece of checked baggage, weighing up to 23 kgs.

Yep - that’s the theoretical answer that I was eluding too. But there seem to be reports that QR is not always honoring that - hence the question.

Yep

All you can do is ensure your Sapphire frequent flyer number is properly registered in the booking when you check in.

Be prepared to assert your status allowance if there is an issue.
