I’m sure you know this but do remember that you both will be eligible to use all the features across all OW airlines and also any non-BA hand baggage only fare will entitle you to at least 1 checked bag also. Safe travels, I genuinely
think BA Silver is a sweet spot in BAEC. Enjoy it!
Having also just made Silver, I didn't know this about a checked bag on a non-BA hand baggage only fare. How does one go about this? I will be travelling from JFK-IND soon on AA in Y and have yet to book a flight but assumed I would have to pay the fee for a checked bag. How do I get the free checked bag? TIA
