Additional Qantas Frequent Flyer and oneworld Emerald member checked baggage allowances are not displayed on a customer’s ticket, only the ticketed checked baggage allowance for the cabin of travel is shown. Issued by Internal Communication - 31 January 2013 For your information, please be aware oneworld airlines that have a weight system will be offering oneworld Emerald members travelling on oneworld marketed and operated flights on international tickets an extra 20 kilograms above their ticketed checked baggage allowance for the cabin they are travelling in. These changes are designed to encourage loyalty members to book their travel on the oneworld network and provide a more seamless customer experience as customers move between oneworld carriers. Please note that as a result of the Qantas and Emirates partnership, which is subject to government and regulatory approvals, Qantas’ baggage policy may change. Page 2 of 2 .
