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
No need to swear Dave.
Where does it state "For BA/IB/AA flights ONLY" in any part of the e-ticket or BA site. It actually states :
"the checked baggage policy of the airline that operates the longer leg will apply".
So if I then go to "Economy allowances" it states 1X23KG. Then at the bottom of that section it states : "Some members of frequent flyer programmes receive a greater allowance." So if you go to that section "Executive Club Gold and Silver members and oneworld Emerald and Sapphire members receive additional checked-baggage benefits when flying on British Airways flights."
So as I am flying on British airways flights as the MSC and longer leg and the "policy" of BA (as CLEARLY shown on thier website) is to allow more for FF's, where does it state that the FF section os ONLY for flights were the whole trip is on BA / AA / IA???? Where does it state that this allowance will not be honoured if you fly another airline?
I am NOT arguing you are wrong, as you are most likely right. But please show me where (apart from this forum) a normal member of the public can CONFIRM that you are right? If you can point me to where it states this I will shut up, promise....
