If your ticket includes flights from other airlines, IATA standards of the Most Significant Marketing Carrier (MSMC) define which airline’s baggage regulations apply to those flights.

If possible, the extra bag charges are calculated according to the Most Significant Marketing Carrier’s extra bag charges.
