I've found the LHR staff to be very easy-going, when it comes to switching flights. I went to LHR for a weekend trip in November. Two other FTers were with me, and so they could sit on my flight, one asked the agent at check-in if she could switch him to my flight (10am LHR-ORD). A little bit of typing, and a BP for the 10am flight printed out. No charge for doing so
