26th November is the date for a heavy bag charge to be applied to all bags over 23kg - rate will be £25.
However, latest news is that passengers travelling in FIRST, CW and our Gold and Silver card holders will be exempt and still allowed up to 32kg. I'll try and find the thread and post it.
OK this is the thread where it says about the exemptions for premium pax.

Hi,
I think from the 26th November the max weight per case goes down to 23kg from 32kg per case.
You can pay £25 per case abover 23kg and below 32kg
Bags above 32kg will no longer be allowed.

Passengers in First, Club World and Club Europe and Gold/silver Exec Club members will not be charged for heavy bags.
additionally any passengers travelling on the same booking as a Gold/Silver member will not be charged either, however if on seperate bookings but travelling together, non gold/silver card holders will be charged.

Proof?
Is there something that can be printed out as proof to the staff member that I'm bound to encounter who'll want to charge me for being over? Not sure that "I read it on FlyerTalk" will carry much weight (if you'll pardon the pun).

All of the desks in T5 have access to ba.com, so they can check the page at the time. That said if I see any more comms about the heavy charges I will go nuts so I dont think you will find many staff who do not know all about it. Although 32k is the limit there are certain items that can be allowed above this with prior notice, ie. TVs etc, again full details on ba.com.

Yes, but the relevant ba.com page doesn't say anything about this exemption for F, Club, Gold and Silver pax. I think that's the point that others were making. I don't think any of us have seen any announcement from BA about this.

I'd look on it as a bonus for FT members and those in the know.
