I recall it was as much again as we had paid for the luggage for the round trip.

BA Twitter team didn’t seem to understand the issue but advised me just to go to the airport. I checked in there and like you expected a fight, but the baggage (x2) wasn’t even mentioned.
And this is my thinking, at an outstation either they couldn't care less or they dig their heels in, there may be little middle ground.

By the way, thanks to all that know the island (and specifically its printing facilities) better than I do!

I'm sure it will be fine, this is BA after all...
