checked baggage question - using avios

if i book ams//lhr//bfs with avios i'm assuming I'll have to pay for 1 checked bag in economy, but if i book business or first class do they get 1 free checked bag?

No status. I wasn't if UK vs Europe is considered international or whatever.

TIA

All flights (other than Hand Baggage Only Fares) are always inclusive of at least one 23 kgs bag on BA. All Avios bookings include a free bag. For your trip, a free bag of 23kgs is included in an economy class booking. If you choose to buy a J class ticket, one is allowed 2 bags at 32kgs.

BA flies to BHD, not BFS (fortunately for me!).

You get one bag if you don't have status in EuroTraveller/Domestic; and two checked bags in Club Europe. Plus up to 2 bags as hand luggage.

More information in the Baggage Guide which is in the Dashboard:

Just to make sure you don't end up at a different airport than you are expecting...BA don't fly to BFS, they go to BHD Belfast City Airport.
