How does this work anyway? if you promise to bring no luggage do they knock a quid off at booking? What happens if the wife goes shopping on your romantic weekend break in Liverpool and you've suddenly got a case of tracksuits that you hadn't bargained on?

Do you get a shiny pound coin at check-in as a reward for cramming all your gear into a laptop bag, or, as this is the BA board, a voucher?
Hi Bounty,

Well I have already seen people try that and its funny. Even worse if they are in I think 7 - 10 below the wing, even smaller lockers.

I ditched using Ryanair for work and one of the main reasons was it was costing around £80 a time for the baggage (£4.50 for each kilo over 15kg) and thats a big no no if your an engineer and have to take tools and parts to site

regards
