I'd try and lighten the bag gonna cost you about £40 if I remember right.

Can you add to hand luggage?

Hand luggage is generous with BA, have you checked that?

With just the bike and the bike bag it's 24.5kgs... I can't get it any lower due to a combination of a solid bike and solid bike bag(evoc). If I put my full face in it's wobbling around the 26kg mark... The hand luggage option might be tricky with a FF and clothes , bike clothes, midge repellent , EPO etc.....

2 members of our travelling group aren't going to be anywhere near the 23kgs limit as they aren't taking bikes....(hiring) wonder if they would look at us as a group and be lenient?

Get the others to take your pedals and saddle/seatpost. Should get the bike/bag down to near 23kg.
