You are correct. My understanding is that BA uses such as in a way that it is an example but not fully inclusive. They also use "If you're looking to make a smooth start to your journey, you need to make sure you have the right documents, such as a valid passport and the relevant visas.". https://www.britishairways.com/en-us...-visas-and-api So I would take this to mean that passports and visas are some of the things that may be included, but is not conclusive.

Basically my question comes down to what is included in the free item list. Is the "such as" just an example, or fully conclusive. And if you can check bags as the child "item", then is this a loophole? I definitely don't think BA wants folks to take advantage (hence the non inclusive language) but I wonder if people can, given the wording. And finally there is any interpretation by gate agents. So I was more wondering what people know from experience.
