Seems like the left hand doesn't know what the right's doing at BA. Their new luggage policy COMPLETELY contradicts this.
Not entirely sure that it does.
The left hand is
advising people to travel with as little luggage as possible BUT the right hand is
telling people that they have a greater allowance
should they wish to use it.
Poorly worded perhaps, but not entirely a contradiction.
As for the question earlier about what happens if someone can't lift their own bag to the locker which wasn't answered (or atleast, I didn't notice a direct answer), the answer to that would really be one of two things.
1) Have another passenger lift it at the first customer's request
2) Have the bag offloaded
I commute to ABZ from LHR and was told the other day at LHR that I will need to buy a NEW wheelie as my current one (the same Samsonite used by the majority of crew) is to big for the new gauges. I'm yet to see one of the new gauges but I'll be damned if I'm spending another £140.00 on a new Samsonite (and I won't use anything else due to the wear and tear these bags endure).
