Baggage allowance mixed classes single ticket
Hello. Quick question. If I book a two-sector Avios flight, LHR > MAD > SDQ single ticket single PNR, the first sector in Blue and the second sector in Business, what will my baggage allowance be? I know it's 32Kg for Business x 2 bags and 23kg for Blue, but what policy does Iberia apply if there are two different class sectors? I need to buy the Avios so I want to know before making the booking. I am BA Silver, so one-world Sapphire. I think I am correct in saying I can take 2 x 23kg as my sapphire gives me an extra bag on the Blue sector and the website is showing the allowance as 1 bag for this sector. What I really want to know is if I can go up to 32kg for both bags?

Now that Blue Class doesn't come with a checked luggage allowance I'm not sure. Probably the long-haul allowance would apply.

LHR-MAD in J; MAD-SCL in economy
Flying LHR- MAD-SCL with a one-night stopover in Madrid with my daughter. The first leg is in business and the long haul in economy. I booked through BA exec club with Avios, because that's where I have my Avios and I was never able to connect my BA account to my Iberia account. Anyway, on the Iberia website it's showing that we have an allowance of 2 suitcases each + a carry-on. Is that correct? Also, can anyone advise if we'd be able to access the lounge in Madrid? I'm BAEC bronze/ OW ruby. Cheers in advance!

What does your BA e-ticket receipt say, re the bags?
Re lounge - officially at least, it's a no (the connections policy looks at the cabin of the longhaul flight). There is a slim chance that they would allow access anyway, but with the stopover in there, I'd say pretty much zero chance.
