Is there an operational reason for such an email on an empty flight or a mistake on BA's part? Would make life easier to check the baggage, but don't want to get to LHR to find it was a mistake and get charged etc.
Hi,

It is standard practice at lhr to allow this so there will be no problem.

Less likely for this to be allowed at outstations.
