I am currently booked for a domestic business flight in September. This booking was made long ago, using BA miles. At that time, there was an allowance of 1 free bag in business. A few months ago, domestic business was changed to allow 2 free bags. I understand that the change is only supposed to apply prospectively, so old tickets (such as mine) do not qualify. At least that's what it says on paper -- I'm wondering if that's the experience in practice. Do agents actually check the ticket date, or do they effectively allow 2 free bags for all domestic business flyers? I could just show up at the airport and take my chances, but if it's not allowed, it's more expensive to pay at the airport rather than in advance. Does anybody have experience one way or the other with this?

Thanks!

Doug

PS I can't just cancel and rebook, because BA's change fee is greater than the cost of a second bag.
