Re-checking bag after a layover.
Hey guys!
I have a long layover in London for my flight to South Africa and I was curious about re-checking a bag. If I go through customs and hang out in London for a bit and then have to re-check my bag, will there be a fee if I already paid to check my bag back in the states?
I will be flying with British Airways… I think when I check my bag at first it will be like, $50, so because I am leaving the airport for my long layover and then have to check back in, I am just wondering if I will have to pay that baggage fee again? Or maybe the tag that I have on my bag will be fine? Thanks guys!!

How long is your layover?
BA don't charge for checked bags, the number free depends on the class you are flying.
If you need a change of clothes then put them in your carry-on, and just check the case through to South Africa.
Your layover may not be long enough to get into London or even somewhere much closer anyway.
