Also, flying from London it's easy to avoid easyjet by setting airport as Heathrow, so BA without HBO should still be lowest price (actually we are allowed within $50 of lowest price).
We're not allowed to veto budget carriers. And our limit is 10% - so on European tickets typically the baggage-inclusive fare becomes a policy violation.

I kind of understand the T-24 decision - if all seats are automatically allocated just before online check in opens, then there will be very little choice left afterwards.
