Hello all-
I'm taking advantage of one of the cheap ME fares to Oz out of Athens, because university academics get to pay their own business class fares

So I've booked myself onto a reward saver flight LHR-ATH, arriving in at 1740. The Qatar flight leaves at 1855. Two questions: Does anyone know if BA will interline bags from LHR so I don't have to collect/check them in ATH? And if not, what are the chances I can make that connection? I can always take the earlier flight on BA, just means I'll be sitting around for ages in ATH, which is not ideal.

PS--as far as I can see Qatar is still a BMI partner, which means I can get DC points->upgradios eventually... ^
