Booking details: flight numbers must be clearly shown in bookings to ensure all stations are aware of same-day travel or travel within 24 hours of the next scheduled PX flight day, enabling smooth baggage handling.
Stopover rules: where an intended stopover is taken en route, the applicable baggage allowance for each sector or carrier will apply.
US DOT regulations: when traveling to, from, or within the USA on flights involving multiple airlines, the airline whose flight number appears first on your ticket will determine whether its baggage rules or another airline’s baggage rules will apply throughout your itinerary.
