Or does being a Silver member entitle me to take 2 x bags?
I have looked at the booking on the BA website and the link for "pay for extra baggage" - it says "excess baggage cannot be purchased for this journey" ?????
Does this mean i have to go to the Aer Lingus website and purchase an extra bag?
Any help appreciated

Would be delighted if someone corrected me on this but my understanding is that your BA/OneWorld status as a Silver essentially means nothing on the EI operated codeshares because they are not a OneWorld carrier.

If the more knowledgeable members here can’t add to or correct what I’ve said it
might need a call to BA to understand your options.

Just one question though, is this a point to point booking or are you connecting via LHR on BA? If you are connecting, your clubs may be checked to Shannon by BA at your point of origin with Silver benefits honoured.
