BA Excess baggage Charge

With the much publicised news surrounding BA’s recently introduced ‘excess baggage’ charge, it seems that things haven’t been going as planned for BA.

It has recently been reported that BA have delayed the new charge and will use its discretion until October of this year. A spokesman for BA has stated that “This is not a back-down, it is a transition period. We realise people might not have heard about the changes.”

The new excess baggage charge that was introduced for all departures on or after the 1st February 2007 could add an additional £60.00 on a return domestic flight, £120.00 on European flights and a staggering £240.00 on long haul return flights.

Much criticism has been made over the new policy and questions asked as to how the elderly, disabled or infirm are supposed to carry the maximum allowed weight allocation in one bag.
