I wonder if anyone could please tell me what time the BA check-in opens at JFK. I am flying Club, in case that makes any difference (as I know it would at LHR).

I am flying JFK-LHR in September and will be arriving early, probably before 1000, although my flight isn't until early evening. Direct from a cruise so no option other than to arrive early. I was hoping to check in and drop my luggage off straight away, then head to the lounge.

Which leads to my second question - if I can check-in early, can I go through security early? I'd never thought about that but an American friend seems to think TSA won't allow you through security until 4 hours before a flight.

I have tried e-mailing BA but the response I got was a simple 'cut and paste' from their website which only gives information about the latest you can check-in, not the earliest, so was no help at all.
