Hi all, my first post to the forum.

I am trying to find out what the size limitations are for checked baggage. I read on the guide in the initial post that larger items of up to 190cm x 75cm x 65cm (75in x 29.5in x 25.5in) can be carried as over-sized items. BA does not charge for oversize bags providing they conform to their weight allowance. However, if the bag size exceeds this upper limit, BA will not accept it at the check in desk and it will need to be shipped separately as cargo.

Although I can't see this anywhere on the BA website. The closest I can find is the same measurements but for sporting goods. I called BA and they are insisting no item of checked baggage can be bigger than 90 x 75 x 43cm (35.5 x 29.5 x 16in).
