@san diego did a search for BA " basic fare" and came up with
BRITISH AIRWAYS LAUNCHES NEW LONG-HAUL ‘BASIC’ FARE GIVING CUSTOMERS GREATER CHOICE
- "They’ll still receive our generous hand baggage allowance, a seat allocated to them in advance, "
- British Airways’ hand baggage allowance is one handbag/laptop bag (max. 23kg / 51lb and up to 40 x 30 x 15cm / 16 x 12 x 6in) plus one additional cabin bag (max. 23kg / 51lb and up to 56 x 45 x 25cm / 22 x 18 x 10in)
46 Kg as hand luggage seems unbelievable, like a misprint. I normally travel with 06 Kg in a backpack
