Check-in at LHR
Hi all,
I'm going LHR to LAX this week and have a really tight connection getting from a meeting.
How strict are Air NZ with the 1:30pm close off for check-in? Are there usually queues that delay that time? I know I'll be there before 2pm but I think getting there bang on 1:30pm is going to be a massive stretch. Could I check in online first and then drop bags off after 1:30pm?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I've checked in at LHR 40 mins before departure, but I was booked in J and Elite at the time (1hr stuck still in traffic) and rang from the minicab, I was told it would have been closed 35 minutes out. However, I wouldn't count on that.
