If BA waives the excess fee for the 2nd bag , then you are in luck, but you are due to pay it
So Nux stated "Its what your e-ticket states", but you are saying its not. Who it right? MMB also states 2 X 23 KG.
When BA's website says that its the "the checked baggage policy of the airline that operates the longer leg will apply". Given that the BA site says "Some members of frequent flyer programmes receive a greater allowance" then "Executive Club Silver and oneworld Sapphire members
A minimum checked baggage allowance of two pieces in any class of travel for the cardholder and any customer travelling on the same booking (excludes hand-baggage only fares and special group rate bookings).
A weight allowance of 32kg (71lb) per checked bag in any class of travel for the cardholder only."
As stated on the other forum topic (as we don't need to get into it again), its just not clear as my E-ticket clearly states 2 X 23kg for the BA legs (MSC legs) so if I take that in, surely they must honour that? But If I need to pay the £65 for the additional bag then I will argue the point but be more than willing to pay it. As for the additional 9kg per bag....don't think I will push that
I really (genuinely) appreciate the discussion on this forum. I realised I can be a PITA with this but as the OP was pointing out, its just a bit confusing at times.
