Can status be used to add checked luggage to a basic economy flight?

[chrishond]

I know VS status can give you extra baggage allowance, but will it allow you to add one checked luggage to a basic economy ticket (which comes with zero baggage allowance)?

[chrishond]

And would the extra luggage allowance be for just yourself, or everyone on your booking?

You get one extra bag. All benefits only apply to the status-holder and not to anybody else.

You haven’t mentioned whether it’s silver or gold, but you do get a checked bag at 23kg and seat selection seven days prior for you and all others on your booking if you are Silver. As @mrstrellis says the bag is just for you unless others in your party have status. Quite useful if you find a cheap light fare
