What is Air Premia's baggage allowance in Economy and Premium Economy?

ESTIMATE

Two pieces of 23 kg (51 lbs) each is the adult Economy allowance on Americas routes, and Premium Economy gets two pieces of 32 kg (71 lbs). On every other route the count drops to one piece, at the same weights. Bags must stay within 158 cm (62 in) in total dimensions. Air Premia flies only these two cabins, so there is no business class allowance. Economy Lite carries about one 15 kg (33 lbs) bag, and special fares and infants get one 15 kg piece outside the Americas.

Air Premia's terms of carriage split allowances into just two zones, the Americas and everywhere else.
