Well, I've got six hours to blow at LHR waiting for the next flight, so I guess I'll take the risk. I will be flying J, and I'll have my "Mommy" along in a wheelchair (usually that helps grease the skids for any borderline stuff). If they do nab it, won't they (hopefully) just gate check it (like American Eagle flights)?
Is this just for BA flights? My parents' return will be on a BA flight into LHR, but an AA flight out of it.
Thanks,
