Also I don’t buy that this is a HAL issue rather than BA as it doesn’t apply to their other terminals.
I have never missed conformance as I’m more of a “enjoy the lounge” sort of person but I’d like to know what the advice is for a very long delay of several hours.
It's a good question. I recently had a UA flight with a delay of 4 hours and showed up to check bags ~90mins before the flight departure and had no problems. I'd have been pretty miffed if they'd told me I could only check bags in 5 hours before the rescheduled departure time!
