Question on OLCI and LHR T5
Hello,
I'll be travelling SAN-ORD-LHR-MAA by AA(first leg) and thereafter BA. Will the OLCI allow me to print BPs for both ORD-LHR and LHR-MAA legs?
Also, I will be connecting at T5 and have seen that pay phones are available and can be used with cash/card. Do these also accept US dollars as cash? Any recommendations on purchasing a calling card to call US from T5 using these pay phones?
Thank you!

Hello, if you cannot do it at checkin the BA agents can do your through boarding passes at ORD. my own experience is that an AA ticket wasn't able to checkin directly the BA flights until I saw a BA agent and they did the passport and visa check.
For roaming sim, I use TruSim and i register a local number at my destination. So when I head stateside I add a us number for Ł5 a month. I am sure cheaper sims are available.
Not sure if you've one world emerald or sapphire I'm sure in some of the lounges there are phones that allow free calls or consider Skype from lounge if thats an option.

Using pay phones in T5 is a bit quaint these days. I doubt that any of them take cash dollars, but as you say no problem with credit cards. If you have your PC then there is wifi for Skype / VOIP. Also your onboard HighLife magazine will have a Lycos card you can top up. And there are phone cards for sale in WH Smith, which has a branch by the South Lounge complex (and 2 other branches airside).
