I'm taking a flight from SFO to TLV (connection at LHR, SFO --> LHR --> TLV). based on Expedia search engine it seems that 2nd bag will cost around $180.
Yet, based on BA website, if i understand this correctly and here is where i will be needing your assistance, as baggage allowed on flight is 1 Baggage item - Extra baggage, which is the total 2nd baggage item should cost $90 - $100.

Is there a difference on an RFS Avios redemption? I'm flying LHR-BRU today in ET on an RFS, and as a BA Silver, online check-in said I only had an allowance of 1 bag. I thought RFS includes 1 bag by default, so I should get a total of 2 as a SCH. Am I wrong or is BA's IT wrong?

Will it still be the case in 2017 that BA cannot move bags between LHR and LGW? I've never had to deal with this before as I rarely check bags, but I find it a bit irresponsible that BA sell a XXX-LON-XXX ticket and cannot transport the bags all the way through.

Can you provide any examples where this happens elsewhere? I'm not aware of any city where checked bags are transported between co-terminals by the airline (although that does not mean there are none!).

Customers who have already deposited their baggage at the departure airport of their Japanese domestic flight do not need to collect their baggage at the departure airport of their international flight.
Please proceed directly to the security checkpoint.

But I think the issue at most airports is customs. However in my case my XXX-LHR-LGW-XXX is pure international so no customs issues in the UK.

As for irresponsibility, BA no longer pays for the inter-airport transfer for the passengers, either. And I don't see that being likely to change, either.

Hi All
Some clarification needed please. Baggage allowance for my flights tomorrow is 2 x 32kg as a Silver travelling in Y. Have had to purchase an extra bag as have lots of stuff to take back with me. Does the third (purchased) bag have an allowance of 23kg or 32kg?
I ask as I seem to recall at some point in the past (a few years ago) I was told by BA check in that the purchased third bag only had the 23kg limit. Can anyone clarify?
Thanks again

I was wondering if anyone ever had experience of being asked to check in their cabin bag because they were also wearing/carrying a large coat or suit (whether in a garment bag or not). As in, for example, trying to get onto the plane with a cabin bag, a laptop bag AND a large winter coat.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hi All,
Hope i've got the right thread for this: i've got a BA Flight LHR T3-PRG on Weds in ET.
Trying to find out what time I can check my bag in and head through to lounge as I have a few calls to make - I know its often 3 hrs (or 2 in PRG!!) but on the BA website at link below it says BA Bronze/Silver/Gold can drop bags at T3 anytime day of flight from 0500 - as i'm OWE does that translate across - i know often the gold privileges from BA translate across to OWE but it doesn't say on the site about it in this instance.
https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb...rt/heathrow-t3
Flight is 2000 - i'd quite like to head through at 1530 if it's possible!
Really appreciate your help - many thanks.

New policy?
Yesterday Mrs shady was flying out of PHX and her checked luggage got measured by the check in agent. She was flying in J so the agent said the weight is no issue, only the dimensions that can not exceed 62'' combined.
This was at the AA desk, as she was connecting to a BA flight in LAS, however the agent explicitly said BA is enforcing this.
I was not able to locate this on BA site anywhere. Was this just a lack of knowledge of the agent?

What I can find is on this page - https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb...age-allowances - under the heading "Increasing your checked baggage allowance", where it says:-
One thing I have no experience of is whether or how a 62-inch restriction compares to what AA will allow, nor whether AA might have some practical limitation on accepting a bigger bag even if BA would theoretically take it itself.
- You can take larger items of up to 190 x 75 x 65cm (75 x 29.5 x 25.5in) as long as they weigh no more than your permitted baggage weight allowance. If the bag weighs more than your allowance, you will be charged extra at the airport. No bag can weigh more than 32kg. Any items larger than the above dimensions will require shipping as cargo.
