mixing HBO and standard bookings

Does anyone know if it's possible to make a single reservation with one passenger as HBO, the other as a standard (ie, with checked baggage allowance)?

No it isn't possible. You either both have to be HBO or both on a plus fare.

thanks for the quick response. If I book 2 x HBO and rock up to the first wing with a suitcase, do BA impose a luggage fee?

Hi.

Yes they will and it will be more expensive than booking it online before hand.

Status does not get extra baggage allowances on a HBO fare
I would check the fares as a fare with luggage might be cheaper than HBO plus luggage

You have choices depending on route, but using TFS return as an example.

1. Book 2 Plus fares @ £50 extra each.
2. Book 2 HBO fares and add a bag online for £42 each way.
3. Book 2 HBO fares and add a bag at the airport for £50 each way.
4. Make 2 separate bookings, one HBO and 1 plus.

Number 4 is the cheapest option, but less chance of you being seated together.
