I want evidence of this BA hold stuff. Sounds like a bit of a tall tale given (a) they don't like batteries in the hold and (b) The millions of business (and leisure) travellers who fly BA every year with their laptops.
I suspect we might not be being given the full story here... e.g. perhaps the laptop might have been encased in a wheely bag.... which the poster attempted to bring onto a busy flight and so was told he would have to check the bag.
f they insist on my laptop going in the hold then I'd insist on a written guarantee in writing for full compensation (regardless of Warsaw or any other convention) for a new one and my time to set it up should it not make it safely into my hands at the far end.
There's this little thing called insurance. You might have heard of it.
