Hi there
Was wondering if there was a policy on being able to check in my hand luggage on a zero hold Basic fare?
I’ve always been able to in the past but not sure if that was because I wa higher than my now Bronze status
I can’t see why not as I’m not adding any weight to the plane and making things easier in the cabin.
Does anyone know if this can/will be refused or charged?
Thanks!It certainly could be refused or charged, as by definition there is no entitlement to it. Equally they often invite people to do just that so probably likely to be OK, as long as you don’t assume, expect or demand.
As above, if your flight is busy you would probably be greeted with open arms for voluntarily offering up your cabin bag, but if you are not checking anything else in, why would you want to do this?!
On busy routes you often get an email offering free check in on a HBO fare, but it will be luck if they let you otherwise. It’s worth a punt though – just be prepared to have to go through check in if rejected. I was rejected once but I think it was because missed the cut off, and had to leave behind a nice (but luckily not expensive!) bottle of wine at security!
BTW, the weight is not what makes a HBO fare cheaper, it is not have to use all the expensive machinery and people to process and handle the bags!
