BMI BABY Baggage Charge

I booked flights with BMI BABY in June, and just recieved a email update from them.
It states that checked in baggage is £5 per item or £2.50 booked online, i am sure when i booked in June this charge was not there.

Does anyone know different? Do i have to pay?
A thankyou is payment enough .

  • The charge was introduced late last year but if you had already booked, you are not affected.

    Super, thanks Glen.


    What is the baggage policy for passengers booking prior to 29th November 2006?
    Passengers may take up to 20kg checked baggage free, every additional 1kg will be charged at £5. Passengers can take up to 7kg hand luggage (no additional laptop allowance due to increased security).

    thanks for that i also booked my flights in june and am due to travel in 10 days time so i presume i will not be charged for baggage ?
    also on the e mail that i recieved from bmi baby about the increased apd tax they said that they would automatically take the money from the card i paid with i checked my card and there was no sign of them taking it
    i logged into my bmi baby bookings and paid it that way so if anybody is due to fly soon i would check just incase they havent taken it

    hope this helps
