BA have seized the opportunity to generate a lot of buzz & fanfare. Only time will tell if BA will be spending money on LGW. Would be awesome to see investment & more longhaul destinations.
Reading the statement, reads like it’s just one new B787 for Gatwick. Presumably LGW will more at some point, but will they be new from Boeing or hand-me-downs from Heathrow.

Also, most airlines allow you to pool your checked-in luggage allowance... providing all passengers on the PNR check in together.
Check in separately and if one of you is overweight you can't make use of the other person's un-used allowance.
Check in separately and if one of you is overweight you can't make use of the other person's un-used allowance.
Sounds like the mistake most couples & families make - each having their own item of checked luggage. 😱
Mix it all up - then if a case is delayed arriving at your destination, you’ve still got clothes and are less inconvenienced. 😎
