Smile Baggage question on QF Operated flight BA7311

Hi Guys,

I am travelling on BA7311 on August 10th. I have tried to establish whether if I can purchase a 3rd ad 4th bag for my trip in PE.

Calling the BA call centre has led me to obtaining my operating PNR and they have asked me to contact QF to ask whether I am eligible for the 7 day pre-purchase rule.

Below is the reply I got after a length conversation by email with Qantas.

Dear Mr Edades ,

Thank you for your e-mail.

You are unable to pre purchase excess baggage on the booking reference <Operating PNR here> as this is not a 'Live' booking. Any excess you have would be at the airport.

Call Qantas Contact Centres on 13 13 13 (in Australia), elsewhere contact your local Qantas office at http://www.qantas.com.au/needhelp/dyn/contacts/index

Regards

Can someone tell me what a 'Live' Booking is and also if this is a legitimate reason for me having to pay $120 a bag?
