What is the baggage allowance?

Asked 2 years ago
British Airways (UK) offers a baggage allowance that varies depending on the fare type and destination. Generally, for economy class passengers, the allowance typically includes one cabin bag with a maximum weight of up to 23 kilograms for checked baggage, although this can vary for different routes or fare types. For premium economy and business class travelers, the checked baggage allowance usually increases, often allowing for two bags weighing up to 23 kilograms each. Additionally, first class passengers may enjoy an even greater allowance. It is important to note that specific rules can change based on the destination and ticket purchased. Also, there may be fees for additional or oversized luggage. To ensure the most accurate and up-to-date information, passengers are encouraged to visit the official British Airways (UK) website, where they can find detailed baggage policies tailored to specific circumstances and flights.
