Aer Lingus bag question

Aside from the weight, what is the difference between

  1. A 20 kg checked bag

  2. A 10 kg bag dropped off at check in

Clearly there’s a profound difference from the app, but what is it? Is #2 just a 10 kg checked bag? Then why carefully always say otherwise?

1: So, 23Kg has gone down to 20Kg?

2: Per AI - "Aer Lingus includes a free 10 kg checked bag only for certain fare types and memberships, such as Plus, Advantage, AerSpace, or AerClub Silver/Platinum/Concierge members."

What happened on my last couple of flights (AC and Aer Lingus). Too many people had carry-on luggage and some were asked to check in luggage free of charge at the departure gate.

Thanks, that’s helpful.

As I posted elsewhere we have one ticket purchased with 4500 Avios plus $18 tax on ba.com and one ticket purchased with 4500 Avios plus $18 tax on aerlingus.com. Same price and class but the baggage allowance is half (!).

Joe: None of the items on your link covers my case, there is an additional 10 kg checked bag option.
