Linking separate PNRs for LHR BA/AA connection 'paper ticket'
I am flying on 3 separate PNRs: BA EDI-LHR, AA LHR-ORD, AA ORD-GRR
I am specifically concerned about linking my BA flight to my AA flight since my AA LHR-ORD flight is a 'paper' ticket and thus I will be unable to check-in on-line. I don't want AA in London to cancel my flight because they think I am late when I am just connecting through Heathrow [2 hour connection flying BA coach / AA first class].
Has anyone ever linked PNRs successfully for this type of scenario?
Can I just call the AA plat number on the day of the flight and inform them I have checked in for my EDI-LHR flight?
Does anyone know the phone number for the Admirals Club at LHR?
Any other ideas on how to handle this?
At what point [time before flight] does AA start giving away my upgraded first class seats?
Minimum international check in time is 60 min, so after this you could lose your seat.
I am not sure how much the AA Plat number can do, but I would recommend calling them if you think you will reach flight connections in LHR T5 less than 60 minutes before your flight.
I don't think the Admirals Club at LHR could help.
