The free weight allowance for international
checked baggage will be 50 pounds (23 kilograms) per piece.
Currently, 70 pounds (32 kilograms) per piece is accepted. The
policy change provides a consistent weight limit between
domestic and international flights.
On connecting service between two different carriers it is important to check the interline relations to understand any additional costs for bags.
The airline lost luggage limit on international trips that originate in countries that have not ratified the Montreal Convention, passengers remain under the rules of the Warsaw Convention and are limited to $9.07 per pound. Countries signatory to the Montreal Convention may obtain up to 1,000 SDRs per passenger. An SDR is an international currency equivalent set by the International Monetary Fund and is approximately $1.50 U.S. The SDR limit is expected to be reviewed every five years.

Wait Times
A small part of the massive spy-agency overhaul passed by Congress provides limited protection for passengers holding tickets for failed airlines.
The provision states that healthy carriers must honor tickets from failed carriers on a space-available basis until next November.
Re-booking fees are limited to $50 roundtrip. Ticket holders have 60 days from the time an airline stops flying to book with another carrier.

A plane flying from Seattle to San Francisco unexpectedly stopped in Sacramento along the way.
The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft, the plane would re-board in 50 minutes. Everybody got off the plane except one gentleman who was blind My buddy had noticed him as he walked by and could tell he was blind because his guide dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of him throughout the entire flight. He could also tell he had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached him, and calling him by name said, "Keith, we're in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?
The blind man replied, "No thanks, but maybe my dog would like to stretch his legs."
Picture this: All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a guide dog The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines!
True story.... Have a great day. Remember --- things are not always as they appear.
