Cabin luggage does follow operational rules for each airline, so I suspect BA being more generous there. The other main wrinkle is that status benefits, if you have status, won't carry over to non oneworld airlines, including Vistara. And within oneworld there are some inconsistencies.
Welcome to Flyertalk, and welcome to the BA forum.
Thank you for the information.
1. Here's what it says on the ticket online.
2 x 23kg checked-in bags
Check Vistara hand baggage allowance
2. The flight numbers are
Toronto -> London :
BA0092
London -> New Delhi: BA0143
Delhi -> Chennai: UK0839
I am mostly worried about the check in luggage as we already have 4 bags packed to max weight.
I am also worried about how the bag transfer will work since we will be staying in Delhi for few days.
Will we have to pick the bags up then (on July 29) check them in again (on Aug 2)?
