If the answer is no, and I then purchased 1 checked bag for outbound flight. Would that allow me to have my my 2x32kg checked baggage Gold Allowance on the outbound?
Hope that makes sense! Thanks in advance.
For BA-operated flights, hand baggage only fares really do mean HBO. Your status or the class you're travelling on a later flight aren't relevant, so you'll have to pay to add a bag. Don't think you get a second bag for free when paying to add a bag, though I might be wrong on that.
For flights operated by most other OW airlines, including AA, status does grant you a checked baggage allowance on a HBO fare.
