So I responded "But you are checking in my bags, so what is the allowance as a BA employee will check them in, not a QF one". The response was "Please check with Qantas".....
I may have missed something when i was more concerned reading and ranting about my problem, so sorry if i repeat someone else. If you fly thru hkg without a stopover, wont your bags get automatically transferred through to the qantas flight without having to check them in again (i know mine did when i made the connection cx-qf about 8 years ago)??? If that happens, you wouldnt need to worry about paying for extra bags if BA let you on with 2 in the first place.
