I would've bought one of these from SEA, but I have no status with Oneworld and my experience flying BA in the past was fine, but unremarkable so I don't feel the need to fly them again and also I read on a blog post these are hand baggage only...which I HOPE cheapoair is explaining, cuz that's my fear with all basic economy etc, that OTAs won't let people sufficiently know. I don't really wanna go to Croatia for a week with 6kg allowance. I can travel carry on only, but in these basic economy/handbag only type things that's not usually allowed so I'll pass.
I purchased this last night from LAX on Expedia. The ticket was issued on OU stock, but most flights are on BA (with the added bonus of our return flight on a 747 - I hope that doesn't change). Expedia showed that a carry-on would be allowed during the booking process and viewing the reservation on BA confirms that.
