Get through security @ JFK w/out BP?

Afternoon all,

Flying MCO-JFK-LHR today. Checked in @ MCO, agent couldn't print BPs for JFK-LHR, told me to get them at the gate. It's since occurred to me that we're changing terminals. Does anyone know if I can get through security @JFK without BPs?

Cheers,
Al

I expect that you will require some type of document to get through security. Suggest you stop at a BA check-in station upon your arrival at T7.

Thanks all, thought that was the case. Annoyed it didn't occur to me before I left the check-in desk here @ MCO. I did double check that all I needed to do was go to the gate, and he confirmed.

AA guy probably didn't know there was a terminal change.

The AA lounge people may be able to print your BP if MCO has an Aadmirals Club (...?)

The new Admirals Club at MCO opened in the last couple of weeks.

I'm only BAEC bronze, will the people at the Admiral club even talk to me? Know where it is because I've walked past it..

We're flying Y+ long haul.. massive queue at customer services, looks like an entire flight being rebooked or something. And the BA app doesn't even think I've checked in for the flight to JFK I've got boarding passes for.

​​​I'll ask at the gate here, otherwise will wait until JFK. Got 3+ hrs layover.

The nice lady at the gate printed off the BPs for JFK-LHR, so we're all good. Thanks for those hints, I wouldn't have thought to ask at the gate!
