Hi all,

Having done a number of same day return trips with BA (on the same booking), when checking in for the outbound flight at T-24 hours, the BA app sometimes also lets me check on for the return flight at the same time (which for that return flight might be more like checking in at T-36 hours).

Yet on other occasions where I am doing a same day return trip on the same booking, the app won’t let me check in for the return flight until (understandably) T-24 hours.

was just wondering if anyone knew why on some occasions, the app sometimes let me check in for the return flight at the same time as the outbound flight, and thus earlier than T-24 hours for that return flight? It is seemingly random such that I cannot predict when, or not, I will be allowed to simultaneously check in for the return flight at the same time as the outbound?
