This would be so much simpler without checked luggage and with an online boarding pass from BA.
Yeah I know but we are traveling for 4 weeks, checked bag kinda needed.. I don't mind the having the luggage wait for us... and hitting the showers first. (another thread poster stated not a problem to go direct from plane to lounge) I keep nothing valuable in my luggage just my carry on.. I may have a nice house and nice car but I wear cheap clothes, if someone wants to steal my $20 pair of jeans knock themselves out...

I can certainly take care of the BA online boarding pass ahead of time...
