Hi all,
i am preparing for a short flight from Europe to London for a party of 4. we will have 2 large checked bag and BA flight is available on this route at a low cost, basic fare. I have an Emerald status with Oneworld but i also understand that no additional baggage will be given if i book on the basic fare (with carry-on only). Question: if i purchase the next category up with checked bag, then i have one checked bag from the ticket + 1 additional checked bag from my status?

i know it is confusing but i could not work out the English on BA website. I am sure their English is better than mines.

Yes, OW extra baggage allowances apply to non-basic fares.

I have a flight in a few weeks. The eTicket says 1x 23kg but online, I can see 2x bags (as OWE).

Also, free seat selection at time of booking - if it tries to charge for seats, skip that step and come back to MMB to select seats.
