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.
FFS , BA publishes its baggage allowance and in discount economy it is ONE PIECE MAX 23Kg ; as far as this journey goes, since it is not all BA/AA/IB any BA member extra benefits do not apply
That is the allowance that is applicable for the outbound journey
For BA/IB/AA flights ONLY , there is an additional allowance made for Silver members of 1 extra piece
Since Qantas is not BA/IB/AA , then this extra allowance does not apply
The extra bag cost over the 1 entitled is due
imo, People setting off to argue for benefits not entitled to are those that help make life difficult for when agents are mistaken since the more people that try getting things that they are not entitled to, just leave agents suspicious of others
Your ticket is accurate on entitlement. on the BA flights , BA is giving 2 pieces but onwards only the ticketed allowance applies
As fas as
•If your journey includes connecting flights with more than one airline, the checked baggage policy of the airline that operates the longer leg will apply statement goes, it is true, BA's policy of 1PC applies
As far as extra piece goes
Executive Club Gold and Silver members and oneworld Emerald and Sapphire members receive additional checked-baggage benefits when flying on British Airways flights
Qantas <> BA, so does not apply
