Peculiar baggage allowance

[Sinminkles]

Hi

When I used the self serve bag drop this week, I saw an unusually high baggage weight allowance of 71kg. This was for a MEL-SYD in economy, but I have Platinum status and am on an international (premium economy) itinerary (though with a few days until next international flight). I understand my allowance should be 60kg. Though a few days earlier it showed at the bag drop as 50kg.
71kg would be very useful for my last international flight!

Has anyone had Similar or knows why this could be?

I saw that my boarding pass in App, for that flight had Flow Forward shown if that is related?

Thanks

I've no idea on 71kg although 70kg seems to be a fairly common allowance; maybe the last digit had an IT glitch ?!?

You should have the same allowance for the Domestic legs of an International itinerary as that of your International - and that will depend on your destination/origin. That said, allowance for Domestic PE is higher than some International Desitinations ... so who knows!

As a WP you should have a 3 piece/70kg allowance for the Americas; 60kg everywhere else.
