Thanks,
I was using BA (GB) on the MAN-MLA run last year as they
kindly offered to match the AM extra (30Kg) allowance. I think
it was 4 flight in total.
I had a nice letter from Customer Services asking if I was happy
at the end of the season and to contact them this year when the
new season started.
I wrote in Nov last year just to check it was still ok and got a one
line note back saying "Due to new baggage allowances, we will
no logner be able to honour that commitment."
AM just said 'OK'.
My points above do not relate really to physical sizes of
allowances (23Kg 32Kg).
I can just get my diving kit in at about 23Kg with *Some* clothes.
It's the fact that they give me a *FREE* allowance of 23Kg then charge
me to split it between two bags, which in any case HAS to be better
from the manual handling POV.
The fact they wrote and said they'd match the AM allowances, allowed
me to do it 4 times then gave a very abrupt NO is by the bye.
BA / GB to MLA was nice although it's now gone to the BACON
pay for everything model an on a 3 1/2 hr flight I'd rather pay the same,
go 'Full service' with AM and get the extra baggage allowance.
It will be interesting to see how this effects the Malta / Cyprus / Crete routes this summer.
