Dear Sir,
It is very confusing and cause of anxiety, your reply down below being at variance with the highlighted portion in red, cut and pasted from the Lufthansa website.
When the Flight booked from Bangalore to Portland is through Lufthansa airways, and their current position on free Baggage Allowance in Economy Class is highlighted below in red as 2 pieces of 23 Kgs. Each, as Check IN Baggage, and the Tickets are purchased as per their prevalent rates at the time of purchase, changing the Free Check in Baggage Allowance may not be in consonance with the high standards of Lufthansa Airways.
Kindly give confirmation, based on the highlighted portion in red, so that we both can carry two pieces of 23 Kgs. Each, lest we are harassed at some Port of Discharge unnecessarily.
Thanking you.

Dear Sir,
With reference to the above itinerary, may I request you to clarify:-
Checked in Baggage Allowance
Cabin Baggage Allowance.
On THE iNTERNET, on Lufthansa site, while checking the above referred allowance, I have seen in the morning that all those travelling from USA, Canada and certain other countries to India and certain other countries, and vice versa, 2 pieces of 23 Kgs. each is allowed for Economy Class.
While talking to 18001025838, in the evening to-day, the individual on line told me that only One piece weighing 23 Kgs. per passenger is allowed
Kindlt clarify and oblige.
Also for FLIGHTS LH9338, 9035 AND 9053, Where shall I contact to request for the window seats.
Grateful for early reply.
