Question
We live in Chicago and are flying on United from CHicago to London -travelling with a 2 year old and wanted a direct flight. Then we are taking Air India to Amritsar India from London. Our tickets say 30KG. Air India doesn't agents at 800 number don't give a consistent answer. I thought anyone originating from the U.S is allowed 32KG for each checked bag with 2 checked bags allowed per person (We are travelling in business class London/ATQ on Air India) so it should not matter what airline we take right? Or do we have to fly Air India from the STates to qualify? I know we can prove where we are coming/going by our United Airlines itinerary/ticket. Please advise. This is very confusing.

Answer
Ok, in the aspect of luggage weight, every airline has different policies for checkin luggage.  You should check with the rep and also airindia.com You should be able to find that information.  There is the link for the information that I think you are looking for http://home.airindia.in/SBCMS/Webpages/Checked-Baggage.aspx?MID=27

Let me know if that helps...
