If your Board Bag is your sole piece of hold luggage you won't pay, AFAIK you only get allowed 1 piece at 23kg. If you can squeeze most of your stuff into that 1 piece remember that with BA you get 2 pieces of hand baggage.

Study the hand baggage sizes on the BA site carefully for best advantage.

Unless you are not in economy )

You can take an additional bag at a cost of GBP30.00 if pre booked, GBP35.00 at airport but the weight allowance of 23kg remains the same

Brilliant thanks guys, it is a one peice bag that fits the board + boots and most of my cloting too but wanted to reduce the weight had keep my clothes in a suitecase.

but the 2 x hand luggage bit is interesting, so if thats correct i can take 2 rucksacks as long as they are in within size and weight! Mmm might be able to take a little more then.

Cheers guys good work :lol:

I've flown with BA the last 3 years, and pretty much anything goes, well, within reason. They're far more lenient with baggage compared to the budget thieves.

Whether they all turn up for work is a different matter...

Very simple with BA. You get 1 bag each 23kg max. A second bag is GBP56 return if booked online, this includes skis/boards. Simply prebook and turn up with it.

BA actually also have a website, which strangely outlines the baggage limits. Amazing, eh?

If its any use to anyone...

1 bag at 23kg (51lbs)
1 piece of hand baggage (56cm x 45cm x 25cm/22in x 18in x 10in) plus a briefcase, laptop or handbag (45cm x 36cm x 20cm/18in x 14in x 8in).

BA used to allow 'one piece of sports equipment' to go free in addition to normal baggage allowance. That included Ski's, a boot bag or Golf equipment if you can work out how to ski on a 9 iron....

Shame really as ideally id like to take a suitcase and board bag, but will ram it all in again as resent paying their charges for extra.

Ill give em a call tomorrow and see what they say,
