British Airways to Eliminate Hand Baggage-Only Fares on Transatlantic Routes
British Airways is set to scrap its cheapest, hand baggage-only fares for transatlantic economy flights in the coming weeks. This policy change means the lowest available ticket price will now automatically include a checked baggage allowance. The move is intended to simplify the airline's complex fare structure and improve the overall customer experience. By bundling luggage into the standard price, BA is diverging from the low-cost carrier model on these key international routes.
