Ours was £20 a head. Doesn't Sleazyjet charge that for a suitcase or
summat?

You're right, though - some rewards schemes are more generous. OTOH,
Anne and I are both BA Silver, so we get an extra baggage allownace
(very useful, is that), and access to the BA lounge at LHR, plus one
guest each, so that takes care of everything.


Anyway, where are you off to - the usual cheepskate Bareges?

Les Portes du Soleil, on 5 January. Staying in Avoriaz.


One of my better efforts was to get my business class ticket from
Washington to London upgraded to Concorde. Apart from the upgrade I
also got the Concorde airmile allowance. Enough for a return trip to
Zurich with the family.
