Surely this is just the baggage changes we all knew of long ago which got postponed from October due to BAA being incompetent. Now, if BAA would pull their fingers out of their sorry arses and run a proper 'security' system, we'd be back to one case + one personal item/laptop bag as hand luggage and this would not bite quite so hard.
I still find it total bollox that 23Kg is for 'health and safety' reasons though. Since the workshy baggage handlers are on 'work to rule', this issue is surely moot? There can only be a health and safety issue if the lazy f*!kers were doing
any handling of baggage at all, let alone of 32Kg ones
I do love the way everything is now being rolled out wrapped in a sham of a mockery of a farce of 'Our vision to make T5 a wonderful, easy, happy, clappy travel experience means that we have to....<screw you over somehow from now on>'
This is another classic case of BA having no grasp on the real world in which their loyal and ESSENTIAL premium customers live. The seating changes would all be hugely easier to swallow if everyone on the PNR benefited from the highest status as before. Simple as that. People who can assign seats, want to do so together. That is a total no brainer. Likewise, this baggage crap would be easier to swallow for people travelling together (especially with young childrren) if the allowance could be pooled up to a 32Kg max. per case. Pha, we did this all to death on the other thread originally. BA didn't listen then, nor will they now
