Iberia Business Avios redemption — conflicting baggage allowance (1x32kg vs 1x23kg)
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone has come across this before with an Iberia-operated flight booked using BA Avios.
I’ve booked IB155 Madrid–Bogotá in Business Class as a BA Avios redemption.
The baggage information is contradictory:
My BA e-ticket receipt says 1 checked bag at 32kg
When I pull the booking up on the Iberia website / Manage My Booking, it says 1 checked bag at 23kg
The Iberia mobile app says I have no checked baggage, which I’m assuming is simply a glitch
I don’t have BA status, so there are no status baggage benefits involved here.
Has anyone had a similar Iberia Business redemption booked through BA Avios? Is one checked bag genuinely the allowance on these redemptions, and if so, is it 23kg or 32kg? Or is this just BA/Iberia not communicating the baggage allowance properly between their systems?
Would be particularly interested to hear from anyone who has actually checked in for an Iberia long-haul Business redemption booked through BA recently.
Thanks!
