OLCI Message - Visa check

Hi All

Quick question as it's a while since we travelled to the US. We completed OLCI today for our flight to JFK tomorrow and it came up with the below message which I don't recall seeing before. We both have valid ESTAs, plus passports with many years left on them. Is this anything to be concerned about?

Your passport and/or visa(s) must be checked at the airport

We are required by certain countries to check your travel documents before you fly. Please see a British Airways representative at the airport.

Passport and visa information

You can check the passport and visa requirements for your journey using the [IATA Travel Centre].

No, it's a standard message. If you have your boarding passes all the agent needs to do is to swipe your passport through at some point, including the gate before boarding.

This happens every time I fly. Just get the boarding pass scanned and passport checked before going to security.

If you're visiting the lounge beforehand then they can do the passport check there as well which will save you a few seconds at the gate.
