BAEC on Vueling: any benefits?
Mrs tooblue and I are booked CPH-BCN. The booking was made by TA through Iberia (with their PNR and Flight No.) but operated by Vueling (with a second PNR and their own Flight No.). Our BAEC numbers are shown by Iberia but not by Vueling. Iberia shows us as ‘Lowest Fare’; suggesting no checked baggage. The Vueling booking shows us with Optima fares and XL seats which give one checked bag each. Does anyone have any similar experience which would suggest that we get: a) no checked bags; b) one checked bag each; c) one checked bag each plus an extra bag each for BAEC status?
