[UK-CONTEST] BA Luggage

[Roger Dixon]

I travelled BA to 3B8 via ZS in March.  I also travel BA frequently on
business.  They are getting stricter on the 23kg baggage allowance.
However, IC706 + switch mode power supply + ATU + notebook and all the
connecting cables & K1EL keyer all fit within the carry on baggage size
limit.  And you can nearly lift it !!

I travelled BA between LGW and Pafos last week, the allowance was 23kg in a
single checked bag plus a cabin bag that can be as heavy as you can lift
into the overhead rack unaided. There is a size restriction on cabin
baggage. You can find all info on
