Luggage initiative by BA

British Airways has extended the choice for short haul customers at Heathrow and London City, following the successful introduction of hand baggage only fares at Gatwick earlier this year (See BTN 18 March).  If you want to travel with hand luggage only you can save £10 per sector.

At Heathrow the routes covered are Amsterdam, Barcelona, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Paris (Charles de Gaulle and Orly) Rome, Rotterdam and Stockholm.

For London City, passengers will benefit to Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Stockholm.

The maximum size of hand baggage is 56cm x 45cm x 25cm (22in x 18in x 10in) with a weight limit of 23kg.

Robin Glover-Faure, British Airways’ Head of Short Haul, said: “The hand baggage-only fare at Gatwick has proved very popular with our customers so we’re now introducing it on a selected number of short haul routes from Heathrow and London City.  If it proves as successful, we plan to roll it out across the whole short haul network in the coming months”. www.ba.com
