Last BA flight out of T3?

Heading there now and hoping to sort out an issue with an early flight departure tomorrow before today is out...
​​​​​​...when will the desks close?!
Thanks in advance.

Or head to T5. Sure they can deal with an issue for a T3 departure just as much as T3 can.

Can't check in and the etkt number has vanished from the outbound. Might be SSSS, might be something else. BA twitter has no idea.

Did you make any changes to the ticket at any point? Sounds like you may have done and that this has not been re-ticketed. Could you try calling?

If there is no e-ticket number on the BA service you are about to fly, then you best call BA first.

SSSS allows full check-in, just no BP can be produced. I trust you have run through the Dashboard thread for OLCI failures.

No point heading to the airport a day early. Give BA a call, since you're GGL. If it is ticketing, and this urgent they will put you on hold and sort it.

Since you say T3, can I ask what flight tomorrow? It might narrow down the issue.

GGL phone number doesn't work for me at all any more. Just gets stuck in that irritating jungle and never goes to answer/menus.

I'm staying at T3 tonight anyway, so might as well make it there within the time frame to fix it at a desk.

Just call the normal Gold number. They’ll sort it, either immediately or overnight

​​​​​​What I think happened is that AMEX pulled the plug on my card - due to switching Black to Blue - during this 48hr pending period, I didn't notice and BA didn't contact me. The seat was still confirmed, though, so I'd never noticed anything being up.

Ticketing at T3 was open and eventually sorted it because check-in couldn't. The guy was perplexed because there was 'no information' he could see and had to call another department because they 'use different systems'. All seems rather confused.

Anyway, it got ticketed and I just saved myself that 20/30min faff at 0530 tomorrow, which will be of benefit.

Thanks all for the input.

Glad you got it resolved. Is there any particular reason why you didn’t ask what time the ticket desks closed in your thread title? After all, that’s the information you wanted.

Reverse deduction... And I was in a fluster.
