CW - No baggage allowance?
Does anyone know why this appears on my boarding pass? I have advised that I am checking in one bag...

It's one of two possibilities. The first is that it's an IT glitch. The second is that any self-respecting BAEC FT member worth their salt only ever travels HBO

17 days? HBO no problem. 170 days is a bit of a stretch but still do-able.

This is an occasional glitch that has come up a few times before, I suspect mainly from upgrades or AA to BA IT glitches. Here are a few examples, there are others buried in other threads.

Glitch or new BA 'enhancement'? (HBO in CE)

Odd Baggage allowance for CW at OLCI- 0 bags.

I have had this happen before, as long as it still shows the correct luggage allowance in MMB you're all good ^

Yup . I saw this on my SAN-LHR-SAN route in F over the Christmas and New Year holidays. No problem checking in with my full baggage allowance (3 bags) either way

Definitely.

Although I must admit that in certain circumstances I’ll check a bag. Example: I’m taking the mrs along on a month trip later this year. We both can HBO, but plan to do some holiday shopping while away. That being the case, we’ll also check a bag with some things in it so we have room for gifts on the return.

I don't do HBO on any overnight trip. In fact, my aim is to go CLO - checked luggage only! Avoids the need for octopus skills at security trying to juggle various bits and pieces, avoids the need to carry or pull a bag (so only ever having one hand) and to babysit it (ie in lounges - what if I want to go & grab a drink, leaving it unattended makes me nervous) and avoids need to be at front of boarding queue.

I agree it's a pain having to wait at the other end!

I'm sure the OP won't have any trouble if they explain they're in Club.
