T24, check in not available BA0039
Hi all, thanks in advance for the help.
I have a return booking LHR PEK, the outgoing leg is tomorrow at 4:25pm, however I have not been able to check in. MMB says "not available" see pic below.
I have called the helpline and the they weren't sure either, but said the flight is definitely running tomorrow. For information, outbound is in WT and inbound is CE (upgraded using avios).
Anyone has any ideas whats happening?
Thanks again

Could be a number of reasons. See this thread which may help.

Thanks for the info! I called them and they confirmed by passanger info etc are all up to date and although I amended the return leg after booking (UUa) this didn't break the booking and I am still ticketed.
Heard this could be an upgrade...lol... I can't be downgraded cos I'm in the back of the bus anyway.
. Any chance I will be offloaded?
Thanks again!

I flew BA39 a couple of weeks ago, and got the following text message from BA after I had tried to check in online:
"We are currently making changes to ba.com to align with China’s new Advanced Passenger Information System requirements. While they take place, we need to ask you to check in at the airport rather than online. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this might cause you. Please be assured we’re making these changes as quickly as possible. British Airways"
I checked in at the airport fine, sadly no upgrade though.

Even if OLCI still isn't available, if I get to LHR early before my B2B, should they be able to sort it all out there?

Does anyone know if BA has re-instated OLCI for BA39 yet? I've booked an ex-EU starting with a B2B to OSL, before BA39 to PKX the following day. I'm now worried that I might not be able to check in online for the return leg of my B2B, which would rather scupper the whole venture. (OSL-LHR-PKX is all on one ticket, to be clear.)
Even if OLCI still isn't available, if I get to LHR early before my B2B, should they be able to sort it all out there?

And yes you are right you can sort out the passport/visa check at LHR for the flight to PKX before you head off to the b2b.
