My problem with BA is this:

Every easter, we fly to Denver with BA.
It's the only direct flight in to Denver, the other options all stop in
Chicago.

ABZ - LHR - DEN.

Now the baggage allowance on the transatlantic is 2 hold bags per
person. But on the connecting domestic flight, it's only 1 bag.

With a family of 4 with ski kit, that's quite restrictive!


Send someone down to London on the train the day before. Advanced train tickets are
pretty cheap...

No need. As anyone with any actual experience of through flights on major
(i.e. non-budget ) airlines will already be aware, the highest baggage
allowance applies to all legs of any one journey.

As BA thenselves confirm on their website

" For itineraries involving flights operated by British Airways, American Airlines
and Iberia, the highest allowance for the number of bags will apply across the
whole journey." BA Website
