Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

to use a calculator, read the BA baggage info, or count up to 46 using your fingers?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I suspect you are the only one who felt it "read" any way other than what it actually said.

Thanks guys.
As it turns out I'm the only one in the group without a big roller bag so I'm the only affected by my mistake, which is good.
Since you cannot upgrade just one person on the booking it seems, I think I'll just splash out on a big bag at some point.

Kruisler, Just make sure that your roller bag does not exceed the maximum dimensions for outsize ski hold baggage. Simples.

A thread resurrection yes but seems like the most appropriate thread for it as its not worth starting a new thread.
A top tip for getting more carry-on bags onto the plane than you are allowed. A woman was getting onto a BA plane today with the max allowed hand luggage carry-on, normal sized bag plus a handbag, she was also afflicted with a prominent hunched back covered by a shawl which elicited some sympathy from other goodly passengers who helped her with her carry-on bags onto the plane.
Once she had got to her seat, she whipped off her shawl to reveal not a hunch-back but a rucksack secreted below the shawl. What a result for her!

Good to hear that other passengers assisted "Notre Dame."

I was on a Westjet flight and noticed a fella in the queue in front of me had a fantastic waistcoat on, nearly knee length and covered from shoulder to hem front and back in large gusseted pockets, each being probably 6"wx12"hx3"deep with a buttoned down flap over. They were all clearly stuffed to the gills. He had no other luggage.

I think there was a brief market in such poacher's coats. I must admit that if I'm getting close to the limit on my baggage a coat that probably isn't strictly needed on the plane is worn and heavy objects put in the pockets. Mind you a coat should almost always be on your person when flying to skiing because of risk of baggage delay it's getting your ski pants and boots into the handluggage that is the usual challenge.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

BA does still provide Proactively Offered Upgrades (POUG) but on an as-needed basis, if economy is full and club isn't. I was offered £79 each way on European flights this week, and I was offered it in March on some Geneva flights (I think £99 for those).
It's hard to predict the availability of them. There used to be a thread on flyertalk listing the details of what people were being offered.
