No my trip to Madrid was a Basic hand baggage only fare. It was £50 out and £35 back so £85 which I used 2600 Avios to reduce the price by £20 to £65. Status gets free seat assignment on Basic fares for Status holders.

FWIW if you want to check in your hand luggage this can be done free of charge from London and domestic airports even on a basic hand baggage only fare. From outside the UK this is only free if the flight is very busy when you will get a text or email to invite you to check luggage in.

The crew will offer water on request free of charge in Economy. With fares as low as €13.50 on a Luxembourg to Heathrow fare I don’t really think it’s unreasonable to buy a drink if you want one but I appreciate not all fares are that low.
