I am planning on travelling HBO but thought I’d check for the latest wisdom here. Is there any chance if I check a case in Bilbao they will transfer it to the long haul at LHR? I’m assumimg that there is not enough time to go landslide and recheck at LHR so had ruled that out. any thoughts welcome!
Sorry for your bereavement. And no, typically, they will say no. You can always ask and there is always of course "a chance" through checking will be allowed but the default answer is no, by far the highest probability is no, and that is unfortunately what you should assume.
