Hoping a BA employee can confirm that the current baggage allowance in economy (world traveller) is really 2 bags? I'm sure last time I flew this route (less than a year ago) it was only one.
British Airways - Checked baggage (http://www.britishairways.com/travel/bagchk/public/en_lc)
Virgin only allow one bag on the same route (Caribbean- London) and considering I'll also be booking onward to Amsterdam for an extended stay of 10 weeks which can be done in one go on BA this seems almost too good to be true! Am I being paranoid to think this is just some webpage mix up??
Also BA cabin baggage allowance is very generous compared to pretty much everyone else.
Is this a new service to attract custom? It certainly works for me!
As a note the fares to LGW are slightly more on BA (but less than US$30 difference) and booking through to AMS is possible for just USD$50 more (+taxes) as opposed to buying a separate BA or EZY ticket after arriving on VA. Not to mention what EZY would charge for the baggage!!
It will be the best value for money I've had for years on this route - even the base fares are down compared to past experience.
