Baggage issues
Can I check my luggage in before my positioning flight?
It isn't guaranteed. You can certainly try, and many FTers have done this without issue, provided the longhaul sector is in Club World or First, or you have at least Silver/Sapphire status. But there is a risk the agent won't let you do this before the first leg. See this post for more options and ideas:

HAM Hamburg
Like AMS, turnarounds at HAM are pain free - no security checks and no passport control. BA uses Gates B20 to B32 located on a pier connected to the main terminal. However BA does occasionally use a gate outside this area. There is a poorly signposted transfer route to airside. Most of the terminal amenities are located in the Schengen gate area and while these are accessible, it does involve passport control in both directions. If going landside allow 20 minutes to return to airside.
Terminal facilities
- Wifi: free service provided by BBG Global AG
- Toilets: WCs are present at several points along the route, and within the non-Schengen gate area
- Smoking: Lucky Strike lounge in the Schengen gate area near Gate A20
- Food/beverages/book shop: very little on offer in the gate area itself (one bar) but there are restaurants and shops in the adjacent Schengen area.
- Lounge: BA's designated lounge is 8 minutes away above Gate A19 after security but before passports, so going to the lounge means two passport checks

FT airside transfer rating: Excellent if non-Schengen, Good if Schengen

Its always a bus gate, so its important to position yourself on the bus to get off first. Once you get off the bus, there's a passport check. You then walk through into the baggage reclaim hall; continue walking straight on, with the baggage belts to your right. The exit will be at the end on the left. Once you exit the secure area into the arrivals hall, there are some steps immediately on your right which will take you up a level to get into the checkin area. Continue walking straight onwards to get to the BA checkin area - security is to the right. There's a fast track security for Club / Gold / Silver passengers. Once through security, you'll be deposited into a shop. Walk through the airport down the stairs and you'll find the lounge. Once through the outbound passport check, you'll be at the gate, where you can get on the bus back to the aircraft.
Terminal facilities
- Wifi: several services available, all require payment/subscription. Tariffs start at €2.90 for 30 minutes
- Toilets: WCs are present at several points along the route, and within the non-Schengen gate area
- Food/beverages/book shop: none in the non-Schengen gate area. All essential items will need to be purchased in the departure lounge before passport control
- Galleries Club: the lounge is before the outbound passport check, so depending on how busy the flight is, and if there are any further non-Schengen flights departing at the same time, you may have to go straight into the passport queue. Once through the outbound passport check, you'll be at the gate, where you can get on the bus back to the aircraft. Wifi vouchers obtained in the lounge work throughout the airport. If you log out properly your minutes will be saved for your next time at the airport.

MAD Madrid Barajas Terminal 4S
Turnarounds on BA operated aircraft are pain free - no security checks and no passport control. Once you exit the air bridge follow the signs up to the mezzanine and towards flight connections. From there you enter the main departure area. You're visit to Madrid in the cozy confines of Barajas Terminal 4 Satellite.
Do not attempt to go landside. It is a long distance and can easily take over 30 minutes to return.
Terminal facilities
- Wifi: Service provided by Kubi Wireless. First 15mins are free
- Toilets: WCs are present at several points along the length of the terminal
- Smoking: There used to be designated smoking booths dotted throughout the terminal.
- Food/beverages/book shop: larger shops and restaurants are in the satellite's central section - there are several Relay and coffee outlets located along the length of the terminal.
- Lounge: Iberia's impressive Sala Velázquez is below the transfer area discretely tucked behind the retail stores

RTM Rotterdam The Hague
Full exit and re-entry required, however it is a small airport. So that's bus, passports, security and then passports, finally bus. Do-able in 30 minutes. There are a few other non Schengen flights (notably one to Turkey). If that gets in just before the BA service, the queue for passports into RTM can be bad. So a bit of a risk. Passports outbound no risk at all, security - there is fast track and that's generally good.
Terminal facilities
- Wifi: complimentary service
- Toilets: WCs are present landside and airside
- Smoking: designated smoking area accessible from the departure lounge, upstairs out on the terrace.
- Food/beverages/book shop: one café, one newsagent, and one duty free shop in the gate area.
- No lounge. If you're travelling in CE or as a GCH/SCH you can collect a voucher from the check-in desk. The voucher can be exchanged for 3 F&B items from the café

TXL Berlin Tegel
There is security and passport control at the gate, and normally boarding will continue until all passengers have been processed. Sometimes staff will invite you to use a nearby gate to speed up processing.
Terminal facilities
Terminal A is hexagonal in plan and the concourse forms a continuous loop
- Wifi: several services available, all require payment/subscription
- Toilets: WCs are present at every other gate
- Smoking: outdoors - follow signs for Boulevard Tegel
- Food/beverages/book shop: there are small concessions located around the loop with larger restaurants (Burger King) at Boulevard Tegel
- Terraces Lounge: from Gate A05 follow the loop clockwise and continue through Boulevard Tegel. The lounge is upstairs. If you arrive at a higher number gate (A06+) the quickest route to the lounge is in an anti-clockwise direction.

WAW Warsaw
Security only, special route upstairs with few other passengers, less than 10 minutes. (Note this is different for arrivals from other Polish airports, when there would be passports but no security, 15 minutes due to the length of the airport).
Terminal facilities
The usual facilities are available once you reach the non-Schengen gate area
- Wifi: free wifi terminal wide
- Toilets: WCs are present on the transfer mezzanine and near the gate area
- Smoking: designated smoking area inside the gate area, downstairs next to the Bolero lounge
- Food/beverages/book shop: a couple of cafés and shops in the gate area. Duty free is downstairs opposite the Bolero lounge.
- Bolero Lounge: beneath the gate area. Stair well is located between Gates 20 and 21.

Working with ticket rules
What are the rules and restrictions?
Cancellation penalties and stopover fees change from fare to fare and from country to country, although stopovers are usually Euro 200 each-way if you break your journey in London for > 24 hours. Also remember you need to factor in the cost of getting to your point of departure, and potentially the cost of a hotel if you are travelling too far to return in a day (e.g. Cyprus, Athens). whichbudget.com lists budget airlines flying to all major cities, and www.skyscanner.net may also be useful.
In general, you will see the rules are much more flexible for the equivalent fare bucket ex-UK.
Note: BA seem to have clamped down on stopover rules, potentially in light of more widespread use of ex-EU fares. Check your fare rules carefully as lots of fares now limit you to a month’s stopover in the UK at most in either direction.

In general, you will see the rules are much more flexible for the equivalent fare bucket ex-UK.
First fares:
Club World fares
Again, taking the current ex-AMS I7SALE fares, the rules are:
*A stopover is a transit of an intermediate point that exceeds 24hrs.
A neat trick for the Club fares – if you time your arrival into London and the departure of your long haul segment right, you can essentially have a free nightstop in London without having an 'official' stopover. For example, you arrive from AMS on a Monday at 21:15 and you can then book your long haul flight the next day (Tuesday) at any time up to 21:14 (< 24hrs) and it is NOT charged as a stopover. Book it for 21:15 or later and that'll be much more expensive fare please. Similarly, you can introduce overnight stays at intermediate connecting cities so long as your connections remain under 24 hours.- Unlimited free changes
- Unlimited free stopovers*
- No cancellation penalty
- Return within 12 months
Club World fares
Again, taking the current ex-AMS I7SALE fares, the rules are:
- Changes charged at €300 each
- Stopovers not permitted
- Cancellation penalty - net fare plus carrier imposed charges
- Return within 12 months
*A stopover is a transit of an intermediate point that exceeds 24hrs.
Note: BA seem to have clamped down on stopover rules, potentially in light of more widespread use of ex-EU fares. Check your fare rules carefully as lots of fares now limit you to a month’s stopover in the UK at most in either direction.

ITA matrix and working examples
How much/when/where?
Following the steps below (idiot-proofed by FTers for some years now!) to find the cheapest starting point for your trip.
(1) Go to http://matrix.itasoftware.com
(2) Complete "From" as
(3) Complete "To" as:
(5) Click "More Options", change cabin to "Business" or "First" and uncheck "Check seat availability"
Refine, rinse, and repeat as necessary
Note that you may need to click on 'Cost' to reorder your results in price order, as the default is to list CAI flights first as they offer Club and First on all legs, not just the longhaul one. If searching for First flights, be careful as it sometimes lists itineraries where only one longhaul leg is in F and the return is in J.
Now that you know what the cheapest fare is, you need to find days on which it is available. In order to get a special fare you need availability in the following booking classes on your required flights. Again, taking AMS as an example:
AMS-LHR segment R-class (sometimes D on First fares but we'll say R to be safe)
LHR-<DEST>R-class for Club, A-class for First
You can use expertflyer.com to check availability by I/A code. Once you have found the right flights you can put them in to the ba.com site with your departure location set as Netherlands and it should price it up perfectly. Also note that the ‘feeder’ flights more regularly tend to book in J class now – this is better since J is nearly always available, meaning less ‘hunting’ for availability on your part.
Working example
So, let's put this into practice using the ITA Matrix to search for the cheapest flights between AMS, BRU, and CDG as potential origins and LAX/HNL as potential destinations.
Step 1: Searching for flights and fares
Step 2: Reviewing the calendar results
Step 3: Choosing your flights
Step 4: Reviewing the itinerary details and fare construction
Step 5: Reviewing the fare rules
Step 6: Booking your flights
As you cannot actually book flights with the ITA Matrix, you will need to go to your preferred booking channel to complete the process, for example BA.com and AA.com
Following the steps below (idiot-proofed by FTers for some years now!) to find the cheapest starting point for your trip.
(1) Go to http://matrix.itasoftware.com
(2) Complete "From" as
AMS;ARN;ATH;BRU;BUD;CAI;CPH;FRA;HEL;IST;LCA;LIN;LI S;PAR;VIE;WAW :: BA+
For completeness, you may want to do a second search on the rest of the EU and potential EU member states:DUB;DUS;HAM;LUX;MAD;OSL;OTP;PRG;RTM;SOF;ZAG :: BA+
Do also bear in mind that some of the airports there are quite far way from London (e.g. ATH, CAI, IST, HEL) and you may not want to have the hassle of such a long flight to begin your journey. If so, you can come up with your own list based on the above with airports (or others) that suit you best personally.YYY :: BA+
Where YYY is your destination - if you don't know the airport code, you can use FlyerTalk's own Airport Code Look-up tool
(4) Enter rough dates which suit you and LON as "sales city" to get GBP pricesWhere YYY is your destination - if you don't know the airport code, you can use FlyerTalk's own Airport Code Look-up tool
(5) Click "More Options", change cabin to "Business" or "First" and uncheck "Check seat availability"
This will bring up the cheapest listed fare for the route on that day, although it does not necessarily mean that tickets will still be available at that price. You can use dnw's method below to find days with actual I (Club) or A (First) availability. You can also use a tool such as www.expertflyer.com or KVS, though these are not free.
If you're looking for WT+ pricing (e.g. to Upgrade Using Avios), set the cabin as "Cheapest" and add " / F BC=T" to the "From" and "To" lines. The results will say "Coach", but it will be a WT+ T class fare. You will need to delete a couple of cities from the list to fit in the extra bit of text.
When comparing WT+ prices for potential UuAs, don't forget that the cost of UuAs vary depending on the individual flight distance. You should factor in the worth of the extra Avios needed when considering which fare offers best value.
(6) Click "Go". Scroll down the results if you don't fancy the first options (usually TIP/CAI/IST) or just delete them in the first place.If you're looking for WT+ pricing (e.g. to Upgrade Using Avios), set the cabin as "Cheapest" and add " / F BC=T" to the "From" and "To" lines.
