I'm with you on the time constraints, but I usually check here, just can't be doing with the hassle and (no gay jokes please) I like my choice of what I'm going to wear.

Having said that, on Ops or at sea, its a different story; you have to carry all the weight as you yomp so who needs a toothbrush handle Having said that, all Royal Marines still find room for a little black dress no matter where they are in the world.

I'm not sure I'm reading the ba.com site correctly, and would just like to confirm that for BA, hand baggage allowance is 2 x 23kg?! (As long as the dimensions fit, of course).

And checked baggage is 1 x 23 (barring status, and in economy; with Gold, 2 x 32kg, I'm assuming).

Just that the allowance seems a little excessive for hand baggage - even more than checked for 'regular' economy travellers...

Max weight theoretically for hand baggage is 23kg per bag, but I fail to see how you would lift that to the overhead.

Checked bags in Y are 1x23kg, or if you are gold 2x32kg.

More information in the baggage guide BA Baggage Guide

Oh - there I go with my split infinitives! I promise that I am always fully dressed when I fly. I am sure that if someone filmed it, all that would be missing would be David Attneborough doing a commentary!
