Baggage and check-ins on different airlines

Upvote:1

The British Airways webpage is telling you that you may check one bag for free, but your checking a second bag will cost $85.00. The same is true for your mother. Thus, if you and your mother each check one bag, there should be no additional charge for the checked baggage.

Because both flights appear on one booking, the airline (presumably BA) that carries you from Cairo to London will tag your bags for Philadelphia, and in London the bags will be transferred by BA to the airplane that will carry you to the US. You will not need to retrieve your bags in London and re-submit them for carriage to the US.

According to this UK government website, you will not need a transit visa to wait in the airport in London to catch your flight to the US. You will not pass through UK immigration and customs in London, but will pass through US immigration and customs upon arrival in the US.
