Bummer that you got played like that. I have never heard of a policy where it matters where you bought a ticket allows a different luggage maximum. It may be the case it's just I've never heard of it.
What I have heard of and this is maybe what you're getting at is when I worked for NWA, there were certain international destinations that did not have to observe the 50lb maximum. Their max was 70lbs, to and from the U.S. and Manila and certain Chinese destinations. When we went initially from the 70lb max down to 50lbs many years ago, these cities were included but apparently there was such an outcry from either their governments or the passengers that it didn't last very long.
Anyway, this may be what you're referring to. In either case, yours or mine, it sounds like the OP was taken advantage of. Keep trying for your money back.
