Am doing the same itinerary this upcoming March 2012. Am I supposed to get the Aer lingus Boarding pass issued to me in Toronto? On line check in for the BA, LHR to DUB (operated by Aer lingus) is not available. With this itinerary I have allowed us more lay over time in LHR...as we almost missed the flight.
You must have been unlucky at the desk with this employee. I often pick up a BP here and often change the one I have been given at my departing airport for a more perferred seat. I have always found them very obliging. As others have said you should get your BP at YYZ but don't think twice of requesting it at the EI transfer desk at LHR or requesting a seat change.
