Free check in of baggage due to heavy loads but flight showing as empty?
I've had an email for my LHR - CFU flight tomorrow saying that BA will check in hand luggage for free due to a busy flight. However when checking loads on Expert Flyer, it's showing as pretty empty across all fares (every bucket is 9). Is there an operational reason for such an email on an empty flight or a mistake on BA's part? Would make life easier to check the baggage, but don't want to get to LHR to find it was a mistake and get charged etc.
