Finally, What are the chances that check in would let you check in the bag even though your HBO ( It would be a small bag)?

Hi,
You do get free seat selection at time of booking now.

Not sure if it applies to your travelling colleagues.

For checked luggage, a HBO fare regardless of status will not allow a checked bag unless you pay. However if it is a bag you would normally carry on then you may be able to get it checked in into the hold free of charge- certainly at LHR/LGW experiences can vary at outstations)
