Note: When flying with an airline that has a partnership with others, be aware that you could fly on a flight operated by a different carrier. For flights to or from the United States, any baggage allowances established by the carrier who originally issued your ticket for the portion of travel will apply for the entire trip. However, if you are traveling to places outside of the United States, then perhaps it would be best that you contact the airline that will be taking your flight since their allowances are stricter and you might even incur additional fees for extra baggage.
