Heathrow t5 disruption 2nd April

Just teeing up this thread given tomorrow is the first day of school holidays and a Saturday so people can share pictures of first wing queues snaking back to Zone A...

I will be flying with the full clan next Saturday but connecting from EDI so will sadly miss the landside T5 fun....

However, sadly have multiple non-Verifly-verifiable things to deal with at a check-in desk (although HBO); any word on being able to hop down to the BA desks at EDI (or LHR for others) the night before when it might be quieter to get BPs printed?

I know twilight check-in used to be "a thing".

A number of people have asked, no-one has found out / reported back, so now it's your turn. The last person found out OLCI did work belatedly for them so that's why they didn't need to go down for it.

Mission accepted CWS!

First it was the T5 to T3 times, now this.
I feel like a boy scout about to earn his first badge.

Slightly OT, but since I'm (hopefully) flying tomorrow with family...

If I've dropped all checked bags with AirPortr, have done VeriFly and have BPs, can I go straight to security - or do you still need to get documents checked at a desk? Heading to France.

You should go straight to security.

It’s almost as if the issues aren’t unique to BA …………

Is tomorrow first day of school holidays? Would have thought more likely next weekend (Sat 9th)?

I'm also flying next Saturday and intend to try the same thing if OLCI doesn't work.
