I have the Star alliance Gold status. I have international travel coming up through Turkish airlines. Can someone tell me how much excess baggage ( check in ) will I be allowed if I have Star alliance Gold status? I tried calling Turkish twice and both times I got different responses. Their website doesn’t really specify anything. Turkish’s Elite status is equivalent to Star alliance gold and allows 20kg additional/ 1 extra bag.
Can someone please confirm? Thank you in advance!

Sounds right.. if the allowance is kg based, you get extra 20 and if its bag based you get 1 more

like

You get 1 extra bag, not an extra 20kg if you're flying from the US.

In certain markets, rather than giving you 1 extra bag, TK gives you 20kg extra but the most common is to get 1 extra bag. It's not a pick and choose option

Thought gold was 2 extra bags?

No, just 1 on top of whatever is allowed. For elite members of the carrier, they may provide for a better allowance. For example, United Premier Gold status entitles you to 2 free complimentary bags (70lbs each) on United only but anyone who is Star Gold and not with United would only get 1 free bag at 50lbs.

Hey all! My SO and I (gay dudes) are looking to move to CO/UT for 3-4 this winter to be close to the mountains and ski every weekend (+ plan to take a few weeks off).

What’s the best mountain to be on if our budget is 3500-4000ish/month, need space to WFH, want to be within 30min from slopes and be able to live our gay life?
