BA med nye checked luggage regler

[Tommy777]

Hei

Fikk nylig en e-post fra BA vedr. endringer i innjekket bagasje. I WT (økonomi) har de kuttet til 1 kolli på alle ruter, inkludert intercontinentalt. Dog får de ikke lov til dette på USA, Karibien, Brazil og Nigeria der lokal lovgivning pålegger 2 kolli..

Hvor lang tid tar det før de andre følger etter??

Her er reglene, mer info finner du på BA.com


New simpler baggage policy - major changes announced

Our vision for London Heathrow Terminal 5 is to create the best possible airport experience before you fly. With this in mind we have announced a new simpler checked and excess baggage policy, which will come into effect on 13 February 2007.

The new policies will bring changes to checked and excess baggage allowances and will take effect across the airline’s global network.

Maximum size and weight
We will not accept any item of baggage that weighs more than 23kg (50lbs) or oversized items exceeding 2.5m x 1.00m x 0.80m (98in x 39in x 31in).

For exceptional items that weigh between 23kg - 45kg (50 - 99lbs) and which cannot be repacked e.g. musical instruments, electrical wheelchairs, some sporting items, TV news cameras, commercial spares, please notify us at time of booking or at a minimum of 24 hours before departure.

Excess Baggage
Excess baggage charges will be standardised across the network from 13 February 2007.

All baggage in excess of free checked baggage allowances will be charged at a fixed fee depending on the length of the journey.

From February 2007 customers on most routes can pre-pay online for their excess baggage and receive a 20% discount on airport charges.

For customers transferring flights, a single charge based on the longest flight will apply.

Excess baggage will be charged at a fixed fee per bag. The fixed fee is set according to whether the customer is travelling on a domestic (£30), shorthaul (£60) or longhaul (£120) flight.
