Since when?

I had an Avios RFS ticket a few years back for LHR-BUD (evening flight) following a cruise that ended in Southampton. Not only did the BA agent not permit me to take the earlier flight; she wouldn't even let me check my luggage in so far in advance of departure time. When I asked another BA agent if there were any food service options landside, she took pity on me, and at least let me check my bag so that I could go airside and access a Priority Pass lounge.
