You mean; that would create the conditions me to collect my baggage in London?
i will ring and see.
My plan - in any case - was going to be -
BA248
1800 - 0835+1
BA464
1320-1650
this is a long enough layover to either:
1. If short ticketed; to just collect without looking suspicious
2. Long enough to justify short ticketing (citing customs, or personal preference??)
3. Or, as others have said, demand my baggage and then just leave through T5 arrivals and no-show for my lhr-mad flight
What do people think?
Or, is guaranteeing a 24 hour (or longer) layover in London the easiest way to “guarantee” a short check from GIG-MAD?
