If this is fact i really wonder who justified it, it has such a large impact that the decision had to be approved at high level.Baggage is such an important item to a traveller, whether it be a business two day trip when the ideal would be to take a briefcase and carryone or a long haul trip where the rules allow two bags up to 32kilos each, or a business class 30 kilo or first 40 kilo. If this daft decision means that BA are saying that two 32 kilo bags can now only be two at 23k or three twenties or a business class longhaul now requires two checked bags. If that is what the decision means then they are crazy and have omitted to consider the most important factor. The PASSENGER HAS A CHOICE and most will not mess about with either less baggage or extra bags to carry for the priviledge of flying BA. BA fly on few routes where the competition cannot be considered an alternative and i predict this decision will have the same impact on BA as the poll tax did on the Tories..
