I knew I had it backwards. Thanks for the additional info.

AA LAX-LHR, then BA LHR-BRU. Did you have your experience at the gate or somewhere else? My rollerbag and personal will each fit into the appropriate sizer, but I have to find a personal item for DH. Of course, if our friend we are visiting puts in her usual order for Paul Mitchell hair products, then we'll have to check a bag to carry her liquids. The things I do for friendship!
