-Hey,

We live in Lonodn but had booked a (cheap) OSL-LHR-SIN-SYD in J using Cash before the COVID-19 mess started and then booked a LHR-OSL return using Points to get us upto and back from Oslo at either end of the cash booking.

Initially, we'd been planning on flying LHR-OSL early on the day of the OSL-SYD haul, spending the day in OSL, a nice lunch, etc and then heading off on the trip to Australia. However, we're now having issues with COVID-19 where BA is reducing European flights and we've been re-booked on a LHR-OSL flight which sees us on the same operating tin for LHR-OSL and then OSL-SYD. This is a trip we've done before - and we've learned (the hard way) that there is not sufficient time to claim luggage and re-check in OSL. On one occasion we were lucky to find a nice checkin at the Gold desk in LHR who actually let us board our luggage to SYD from LHR i.e. we flew LHR-OSL and then OSL-LHR without our luggage, it boarded at LHR and joined us in SYD.

However, the last two times we've made this trip they wouldn't let us do this (security).

Ignoring the advisability of actually spending any time in Airports or Planes at present does anyone know if BA with let us cross-check our luggage by linking the two PNR's in, effect an internline between two BA operating flights on different PNR's ? This would mean we don't have to claim and check luggage in OSL.

Views appreciated
