BA Short haul Booking process

Hi,

Wanting to book return for myself and wife from Belfast to Heathrow from the BA website.

Can one of us book as "Economy -Hand luggage only", and the other book as "Economy - With Checked bag"? We only plan to take one suitcase, and might as well save the approx £30?

Any help would be appreciated

I have a feeling you can't do that on the same booking, no. You'd have to make two separate bookings.

Alternatively book two HBO fares and pay extra to check in a bag.

yes it would be two separate bookings.

However 2 HBOs + buy extra bag may still be more expensive than 1 HBO and 1 with checked bag.

Best to check by doing a dummy booking though I think it's £15 differecne between the basic with no bag and the basoc with bag but £25 to pay separatly for a bag

I think the deference is only £10.00 between HBO and economy and you can choose your seat 48 hours before

Don't forget to check the Club Europe fare, often the difference isn't that much and you get Fastrak security and lounge access. Plus free F&B on board and all the suitcase space you'd need!
