Oh no the wife's been reading this thread and now she's panicking!!! She desperately wants to take her new designer suitcase (probably won't survive any better than the last one ) but is worried about the weight!
Would you kind souls who are frequent travellers keep me informed on this....
Thanks - you'll be helping out one very frazzled husband who will need this holiday by the time we get through check-in...

The LGW staff have all now been informed that those travelling in F or CW will be allowed up to 32kg even though the 23kg is going to be strictly applied for other cabins.
This will also be applicable to Gold and Silver card holders, though I have heard not the oneworld equivalents. (Please don't shoot the messenger - I'm only saying what I've been told!)
My understanding is that it won't be published as of yet as we still want to encourage ALL passengers to keep to as close as 23kg as possible.

Outbound October return December 2008
What happens if someone traveled outbound in WT in October and their return is not until 2nd December and the bags weigh more than 23 kg each? Will BA waive the excess £25 fee?

PS - and they could also say that the luggage allowance has actually been 23kg for about 18 months or more now. We're just stopping the leeway we'd allowed for that time. Sorry

Sunrisegirl - you're an absolute treasure ^ and have made my wife a very happy woman - so in turn you have made me a very happy man
She can take her new designer case and will not have to show at check -in just how many shoes, handbags and other things that she doesn't need in Barbados to all and sundry!!! Owwhhhh!!!! That was the wife hitting me over the head reading my email!
All I pray is that the check-in staff at CW stick to this unwritten rule and I'll do my best to make sure she leaves the tumble dryer at home
