Why is there ALWAYS some twit like "they would know..." who would rather put down the question than either be helpful or remain silent? <BR><BR>I don't believe Josie needs any defense, but I completely sympathize with her inclination to spend a few moments posting this question rather than devoting a half-hour on the phone in phone-menu limbo waiting to talk to someone -- assuming you can even get through to BA (not always possible in the US). As to going to their website, that's a quicker solution for the Josie's of the world, so thanks "soeasy." <BR><BR>But I don't think she's to be castigated for thinking that someone here might have the answer at their fingertips -- perhaps someone who just took a BA trip. It's analogous to sitting in one cubicle at an office and leaning back to ask the next worker a quick question. Maybe they know, maybe they don't. But if they do and they respond "why don't you call BA and ask them?" --it's just plain churlish.

That was quick, took all of three minutes...thank you "soeasy," I got all the info I needed.<BR><BR>I couldn't call BA "they would know," I wasn't being lazy.<BR><BR>And Joik, nice to know there is someone who understands my dilemma (I think.)<BR><BR>

Their miserly weight limit is ONLY five kilos (11 pounds). If you really do have two "suitcases" that add up to under 11 pounds, I would combine them into a single trash bag (plastic bag - - I don't mean that your luggage is trash) - - and presto, now you have ONE bag that falls under their weight limit.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

If the question is about checked baggage (and I never imagined it to be) - - then I have never heard of an airline which would allow one bag of 30 kg - - but not allow two bags of 15 kg each.<BR><BR>That's why it did not occur to me that this might be the question.<BR>

I'm sure you're right. I'm only referring to my original interpretation of Josie's question, wrong though it may have been.<BR><BR>Having flown BA, I have this rather vivid memory of having my carry-on bag very much "checked in" - - stickered, and weighed (on the return flight, when I actually did have a bag under five kilos). And on the outbound flight (JFK to LHR), the same process was used to let me know that my "carry-on" (what I thought was an appropriate carry-on) had to be "checked".<BR>

From the what it's worth department, I flew Continental to Europe and had a carry on full of wine weighing about 50 lbs, but within size limits. Flying back on a Continental flight co-shared by Virgin Atlantic, the carry on limit was about 12 lbs. <BR><BR>
