Yes I know BD are there, but to the best of my knowledge you can’t do a single ticket through booking onto BA using BD as the feeder, EI currently operate code share flights with BA. So you can make your booking with BA under a BA PNR.

In any case BD are even more restrictive with the interlining of baggage.
So using BD still has us ending up with the same hassles.

That might be ok, if your arrival airport is the final destination, but if you need to fly on further, you’d have to connect onwards. Connecting in the U.S. & flying internally in the U.S. is not exactly the pleasurable or streamlined of experiences. Particularly after a long haul across the Atlantic. Not something you may want to deal with, I think.
