@ayearinmx You did the right thing by querying and then just paying the baggage fee. The baggage allowance is always determined by the operating carrier so the Qatar staff were correct.
It was a great gesture by them to refund the fee. If they hadn’t you could simply have put a claim for the expense to BA who would have paid it as the reroute was a result of the cancellation of the original BA flight.
