But if the boarding pass says you have a bag, so will FLY and you will be OK for bags.
Two tickets: VIE-LHR-VIE on what I think is an HBO ticket, and then LHR-MAD-TNG//TNG-MAD-LHR with a 1 baggage allowance. Checked in for VIE-LHR only. I'm considering packing a few bottles and other stuff into a bag - I'll take them for a ride to Tangier before heading home to Newbury - but I wonder how it would play out at baggage drop in VIE. This boarding pass clearly shows 1 bag, but MMB still shows HBO only.

I wonder if they're proactively doing this, as they know it will be a busy flight, to get more bags into the hold.
