Hello
I was wondering if I get any baggage allowance with Silver membership on no baggage fares. There is a note on the BA website that this is excluded, but then the asterisk (*) seems to suggest this is OK if the silver card member is travelling on the booking.
Do I get to take a free checked bag on a 'hand baggage only fare' as a silver or not?
Thanks!
It depends on which carrier you are flying. If you redeem Avios for an Economy Class ticket on an AA domestic (and even some international routes), BA will refer to the AA flight as HBO. But, in fact, even though no free checked baggage is included on such tickets, AA will permit oneworld elites to check one or more bags for free; the exact number depends upon the particular oneworld status.
