The British Airways codeshare tickets on Aer Lingus flights fall between Saver and Plus on Aer Lingus.
They come with one 23kg checked bag, plus the usual 10kg carry-on bag as per BA.
They do not come with seat selection - whenever I call EI to select a seat, they charge me for it, and I pay. No priority boarding, though you used to get it with a seat in row 1-6, so I used to book one of those.

Yes, check-in, where else would you get it? As I said in the other thread, you will be fine. Plenty of people book the EI flights via BA as plenty of Irish people travel BA over LHR to go abroad. You're not the first one, so all will be well
