Changes to Qantas Baggage allowances USA and Canada

[Seat0B]

This item on another forum outlines changes to Qantas baggage allowances for flights to USA and Canada for travel bookings made after 26 March 2021. Some win, some lose. As a QF WP, you will apparently still be allowed 4 x 32 kg bags if flying in business, which honestly should be enough! But those without QF status will get reductions in baggage allowances.
