The new combined 46kg* checked baggage allowance will benefit families or those who are traveling over the winter months, with extra items like seasonal shopping, sporting, or photography equipment.

Moran Birger, Head of Sales, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East at British Airways, said, “2020 has been a difficult year for our customers and during the winter period we want to help relieve the strain, so we are pleased to be able to make a small gesture to allow our customers to carry more, particularly at a time when we know people are visiting their families.”

It must be noted that Scheduled international passenger flights continue to remain suspended in the country since March 23 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
