Sorry, my OCD is kicking in again, so I beg the groups forgiveness in advance for this simple question.

My wife and I are on BA 294 ORD to LHR 1710-0630 then connecting to BA 163 LHR to TLV 1910-0345.

MY hope is that BA is willing to check our bags through to Tel Aviv rather than our having to collect them in LHR and then recheck them again to TLV.

IS that hope reasonable?

This is my wife's 60th birthday trip to the Holy Land and I'm trying to make it work out perfect.

Thanks to all.
