Let's get this out of the way. Jetstar because from Adelaide to Bali it's just one five hour flight. Get there before lunch as opposed to 10pm.

So it's an award flight. On the Qantas booking site when I booked the tickets, being WP checked luggage shows as 30kg. On the Jetstar website it shows as Zero.

So does Qantas rule apply? Or Jetstar 😠

gotta give it 24 hours to ‘sync’ the systems.

We had a JQ sector on an award, connecting in SIN to AY.

JQ booking initially showed zero allowance, 24 hours later it updated to 2 x 32kg which was the AY limit.

Although you’ll be booked as a JQ prime flight, so I think you get baggage (20kg) , but no extra for status?
 
30kg is the norm for QFF Reward Bookings on Jetstar, pay extra to select seats
on the Jetstar site.
 
What’s unclear, up to 30kgs means 30kg max
In isolation it looks like the limit can be anywhere up to 30kg (eg it could be 23kg) depending on other unspecified factors. But when looking at the entire table it also says "up to 7kgs" for carry on baggage. Since I know it will definitely be 7kg I will extrapolate that "up to 30kgs" means 30kgs.
