I am going alone - as HI was not keen on hanging around with chattering women!

Where is the Ladies Prison in Manchester?

The desks were likewise in early August, and cunningly labelled "I heart Manchester" rather than AA Business.

I went through on August 3 but I don't remember the label as I resorted to asking where they were and had them pointed out to me.

My question is this - with which airline do I check in? Will it allow me to check in Online with the BA flight code? If it does not allow me to do this - do I go to BA or AA. AA will of course have their security people vetting you before you check in and it would amaze me if I were to be put throught the same procedure. Do I then go directly to AA? This I should add is MAN -ORD.

So if this is a daft question, and it has probably been aired here 673 times, but it passed me by. Any help gratefully received.
@PUCCI GALORE I'm not sure about it being a dozy tart question but it's certainly a dozy tart thread title

I've done that in the past - AA metal with an AA flight number on a BA itinerary is fine, you can select the seat on the AA website using their PNR as you've said. The problem in this case is that it is AA metal with a BA flight number, and neither the AA website nor the BA website allow you to select seats.....

I had at least two AA metal with BA code (BA ticket) this summer and I was able to select seats on AA.com, using BA PNR.
Unless they screwed up something after that (of course very possible), you should be able to do the same.

I assume her Pucciness has only to get on the telephone to BAEC (or the equivalent someone at AA) and they will fix the seat selection problem?

When I was young it was referred to as Styal Women's Prison. It must have gone up in the world?
