This is more of a note rather than a full-on blog article just to warn flyers that British Airways has changed the baggage allowance afforded to travelers flying in Economy Class to/from Brazil.

Historically British Airways offered a generous 2-piece checked-baggage allowance to all Economy Class passengers it carried to/from Brazil with oneworld Emerald and Silver members getting a further 1-bag allowance.

Now, for all flights booked from 1 February 2019 the standard Economy Class baggage allowance to/from Brazil will fall in line with most other British Airways routes – one checked bag per Economy Class passenger with oneworld Emerald and Silver members getting a further 1-bag allowance.

In addition, charges for an extra bag are now also in line with what British Airways charges on most of its other routes:

Bottom Line

If your trip was booked before 1 February 2019 it is not affected by the news above. If, on the other hand, you’re planning a trip to Brazil with British Airways please be aware of the restrictions in place as of Friday last week.
