All,

First off thank you in advance for your response. My Fiance and I are traveling to Europe for our Honeymoon on a cruise. We are booked on the way over for Business class into London (LHR) then have a car service taking us to our hotel the day before the cruise.

On the way home we have a couple of Days that we would like to spend in London. The best/cheapest award flight home is leaving out of Manchester, UK (MAN). We need to get to the MAN airport the day of the flight for our trip home. The flight is on American Airlines direct back to ORD.

I ended up finding extremely cheap flights from LHR to MAN in the morning getting us there with several (4) hours to spare. The flight is on British Airways. If we decided to take this flight to MAN would we be able to have BA transfer bags between our flights or would we have to re-check with American. Also since we are Business Class on the second leg of the trip would we get additional baggage allowance as BA is a one world partner.

I do not mind having to recheck but the process would be easier without it. Also I am a one world Saphire, AA Platinum member does that get me any additional baggage allowance on BA. This looks like it is going to be the easiest option to get to the MAN airport with the least amount of hassle.

Thanks again
