Thanks stewyb - and MarkyD
No sign or word of any further winter leisure routes from BACF this year -
Just the 2 Ski destinations CMF and SZG,
and Easy Jet continues the GVA Ski flights again (4 weekly) from both SOU and BOH - with 186 seat A320's
Only BOH has winter sun for us locals with TUI - the Canaries TFS LPA ACE, and 3 Barbados P&O Fly-cruises.
RYR also has TFS ACE ALC AGP FAO and MLA for this winter from BOH
On the BACF flights if you buy a Y class cabin baggage only fare you can take two bags in the cabin (up to 23kgs each allowed)
However be warned - the Overhead Lockers on the EMB are not big enough for larger cabin bags that will normally go OK in the lockers on an Airbus 320/321, or a 737.
If you buy a Y or Avios fare with checked baggage then you get 1 bag @ 23kgs, plus your 2 cabin bags.
You can no longer on BA pool your baggage allowance with family/friends on your booking (unlike TUI, EZY and RYR)
and at SOU they were strict (Computer says no) about checking in 2 bags even if you have 2 pieces within 23 kgs.
Whereas in Mykonos they just checked everything in plus the donkeys and sombrero's without any worries whatsoever LOL.
BA used to be very easy going on pooling allowances and also checking in unwanted hand luggage etc but seems that has now all changed.
Have to say that breezing through SOU out and back during such awful chaotic times seen since May at other UK airports, then SOU was a pure dream.
Yes they need to sort out optimums for ground handling and efficiencies, and I trust that someone at the Top is on top of that.
2 sets good - 1 set bad....
