For what it's worth, an agent added the 12:20 BA 460 (772) from LHR to MAD in business class. We got a refund on top of it.
Appending: Forgot to add that they also added a MAD-LHR return in business class, as well.
Thank you all for explaining everything to me. I am so fortunate to have received your wisdom.
Sounds good. And as it’s on one ticket, your bags will be checked through to MAD.
Extra tip - your BOS flight will almost certainly disembark at T5 B or C satellite, and your onward MAD flight will almost certainly leave from B or C too. (In fact if your BOS flight is a 777 it’s quite possible it could be the same aircraft, though don’t expect that.)
As such, look to clear security at B gates and then head straight up to the Galleries Club lounge there - it’s the best of the business lounges at T5, and avoids the schlep back to the main A gates.
Just check on wayfinding.maps.ba.com when you arrive to get a gate indication for the MAD flight. But you’d be very unlucky for it to be a bus gate from A.
