Dave, I can certainly see your point. You can read it that way for sure and as you have stated, that is likely the policy they will apply and therefore I will be required to pay the additional £65 for the bag, which I stated in the other topic I am more than happy to do as its really not that much (certainly less than trying to pay for shipping 23kg of stuff through the post....

My point is one of interpretation. The BA site is NOT clear in my view. The BA site says that on BA flights, as a FF member you are entitled by "BA's policy" to get more luggage. Then it states that the airlines policy of the MSC / Longest is applied where there is more than one airline. But you are saying that its the base policy that is applied, not the "additional" policy for FF members (remember, it says the additional allowance is for BA flights, and with the BA flights being MSC / Longest, then I AM entitled to that policy, according to the way the site is written) but it does not say that anywhere.

Its not clear on the site that this additional allowance does not carry over, its the way you are interpreting it, not the language they use.

Hey, you probably think I am an idiot who can't read simple language. As I write contracts for a living (amongst other things) its part of my job to ensure that language is clear and can not be interpreted in other ways. If I was reviewing this for BA, I would ask them to clean up the language to be clear. So when they say :

Executive Club Gold and Silver members and oneworld Emerald and Sapphire members receive additional checked-baggage benefits when flying on British Airways flights.

I would re-word it to say :

Executive Club Gold and Silver members and oneworld Emerald and Sapphire members receive additional checked-baggage benefits when on a ticket that is entirely British Airways operated flights.

Surely that would clear it up?
