Davelaw00, I wonder what happened to the person whose BP you got; presumably they went to check in only to find they were already "checked in", unless the GVA flight was a lot later than the EDI flight and it was already sorted out by the time they checked in?
Three weeks ago I was at YYZ going to YVR, checked my baggage but got delayed (long lines) at security, the thing is I arrived 2 minutes late at the gate and was not allowed to board, had to wait for checked luggage to get offload (and had to get a new boarding pass for a later flight, check bags again, go thru security, etc. again). So, checked baggages seem not to travel if the pax won't board (I was happy with it, because I didn't want my luggage to arrive to Vancouver while I was still waiting for another flight in Toronto).
