I took your suggestion. Phoned BA and a gentleman checked my booking and said that everything seems fine with it.

He said that "although normally OLCI automatically opens at -24hours, sometimes online check-in is held back by the airport", so I should try again in a few hours...
Bit odd really and - if anyone from BA web technical support is reading it - a bit of a bug. You really want something to tell you to this affect and not just kick you back to the MMB page without any clue of what is happening.
Am not too bothered - we are on the flight and there are no such things as truly bad Club seats (currently in 11A and 11B on a three class 777 - which are ok seats, assuming no little screamer in the bulkhead behind). We are getting to Heathrow just over 3 hours before the flight - so plenty of time if we have to use SSCI...

I have had this same cr*p from websupport when the flight WAS available for check-in, as I discovered when I put the phone down to them and experimented with different ways of accessing OLCI. The link from my actual booking continued not to work (the reason why i had called) but the link on the EC front page worked a treat. This continued to be the case for some 4-6 hours afterwards. Chronic !
