Just went back in to MMB...they're not there. Argh!
Why do BA make this so difficult...?
Providing API is optional, but it is required for you to check in online (and thus, if you don't have status you won't be able to choose your seats except on full fare J/F). If you don't input it then you will have to check in at the airport.
