What is the checked baggage policy?

Asked a year ago
British Airways has a checked baggage policy that may vary depending on the travel class and destination. In general, passengers are allowed to check at least one piece of luggage for free, with different weight and size restrictions. For economy class, the maximum weight is typically 23kg (51lb) per bag on most routes, while for premium and business classes it can be up to 32kg (70lb). The dimensions, including length, width, and height, should not exceed 90cm x 75cm x 43cm (35.5in x 29.5in x 16in). Additional bags or overweight bags may incur extra charges. It is recommended to check the specific requirements for your ticket and destination on the British Airways website or by contacting their customer service.
