If you live in the London metro area and need checked luggage for your trips to Europe, this offer from British Airways may interest you.
British Airways has a special offer with a piece of checked luggage for just one pound from selected departures from London Gatwick.
To qualify for this offer, your flight must:
- Depart on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday
- Between December 5 and 14, 2023 or between January 9 and February 8, 2024
- Book before November 27, 2023
In addition to the one-pound offer, it is possible to do free seat selection 48 hours before the flight, that will slim your chances of getting a middle seat.
We checked one flight from London Gatwick to Gran Canaria flying on a Wednesday. The flight with hand luggage only is priced at £78 (~€91) with paid seat selection, and for just one pound more, you have the option of checked luggage and free seat selection.
If you choose a Monday with this offer, the difference between hand baggage only and checked baggage is £28 (~€33). on the direct flight.
Offers start in other destinations at £39 (~€46), but we decided to check Gran Canaria since it’s a longer flight where you can appreciate the difference between a no-frills low-cost airline and a flag carrier. Additionally, this flight will earn me more adios than flying to Nice.
