I hadn’t noticed but given that EasyJet have just charged me £30 each way for a short haul flight (less than 2 hours) for the privilege of taking a large carry on case with me, I guess that is the pricing point. Whilst BA are pretty awful at most things, Rob has always said they are pretty on-the-ball at revenue management.

The difference with Easyjet at least is they let you add one bag onto a booking whereas BA make you split the booking into separate PNRs, should for instance a family of four wish to take one bag and therefore want one plus fare and three HBO fares. I’m sure BA know this and consider it a feature rather than a bug of how they price these.

You can buy 4 HBO tickets and then add a single suitcase from MMB.
