hi first jy holiday to usa national parks mnt rushmore little big horn flying with ba can anyone tell me my luggage allowance ie number of bags and weight of each bag thanks confused

Think JY will give you the info in your final documents. I've flown with BA lots of times and you will be allowed one cheked in bag upto a weight restriction of 23kg.

Size for a checked bag can be up to 90cm x 75cm x 43cm (35.5in x 29.5in x 16in) — including any bits that stick out, like the handle, pockets and wheels.

You can have on piece of hand luggage but be careful what you pack in it, nothing that can be used as a weapon (scissors, etc) and liquids. I usually take my valuables (money, camera, etc) plus at least one change of clothes (just in case my main luggage goes awol).

The size allowed is 56cm x 45cm x 25cm (22in x 18in x 10in) including handles, pockets and wheels not sure of the weight with BA. Personally i take a small rucksack as find it easier to carry when lumping my main luggage around, is also useful on the coach for carrying bits and bobs during the holiday.

Believe ladies are also allowed a small handbag on the flight, maybe Julia or any ladies on th forum can confirm this as i leave mine at home :blush:

I would never assume BA will let you through up to 32kg -my friend's suitcase on our recent holiday was 26kg and they made her open her suitcase in front of everyone and take stuff out to get the weight down-this was either binned or given to my other friend to put in her bag as her's was under. My friend, understandably, found this quite humiliating so it's always best to be just under if possible.

As well as your checked in suitcase you can take, for example, a small suitcase/rucksack for storage in the overhead locker, plus a handbag onto the flight.

TSA approved lock does help for the USA. Do not take large shampoo and shower gels, you only bring them back home again as all hotels provide them.

Hi

If you go to ba.com and type in baggage allowance in the search box (top right hand corner underneath the magnifying glass) you will get a page giving all the information you need, about weight, sizes, and even some other airlines. Unfortunately the link was far too long to post.

I think the rules are a HANDBAG qualifies as 1 piece of hand luggage..I normally pack the handbag empty for while away and just have a back pack for on the plane.

Cindy,

Believe BA allow one cabin bag and a personal bag (handbag), one of very few airlines that allow this.

The comment about your handbag made me laugh, exactly the sort of comment I would expect of you after meeting you in Slovenia.

Expect your group departing in November on America's Heart and Soul trip will have a fantastic holiday.
