We have been carrying travellers between Hong Kong and London since 1936. Here you can find out information of our latest news and recent activities in Hong Kong.
Knowing what you can and cannot take on board, as well as how much you can carry, can make all the difference to your journey. Be prepared, plan ahead and get your journey off to a good start.
The UK Department for Transport has given approval to most UK airports to remove the one-bag restriction on hand baggage. This covers all UK airports that British Airways flies out of and as a result, you can now carry 2 pieces of hand baggage when travelling on all British Airways flights.
In accordance with the UK Health and Safety Executive’s recommendation on the maximum weight for checked baggage, British Airways has introduced a limit of 23kg (51lbs) for any single checked bag as part of your free baggage allowance.
We understand that there are times when you will need to exceed this limit. Therefore, from November 2008, a flat fee of £25 GBP will be applied to bags weighing more than 23kg (51lbs). This charge is to cover the additional handling that bags weighing over 23kg (51lbs) can attract.
Until this charge is implemented, we will continue to accept a single piece of baggage weighing up to 32kg (70lbs) without charge.
Please note that we will not accept a bag heavier than 32kg (70lbs) as checked baggage.
