My reasoning was that given I didn't know the terminal at all, and given what people mentioned regarding doing a BtoB in Dublin (security to go through etc etc), it would be risky. Now, what I wonder is the following :
Assuming I end up doing the "transfer" quickly enough, do you think it'd be possible for me to ask the BA desk to put me on the earlier (BtoB) plane (assuming hand luggage only). Or is it impossible given I'd be arriving too late ?
I asked the last time I did this and got told (rather firmly) no in a repeated number of ways. "the flight is full" ("but you were selling tickets a few minutes ago"), "I can't adjust tickets here" ("But someone did that for me a while ago"), "You need to ask at the check in desks".
Basically - I was left with the impression they didn't want to do it.
