T3 Twilight check in?
Am I right in thinking that there is no twilight check in at T3? The BA website suggests not.
For context we are travelling JER-LHR early on Friday morning and then LHR-GIB at midday on the Saturday (this wasn’t the original plan but BA cancelled our JER-LHR sector on the Saturday morning and this is what we are left with). We’re staying at the Sofitel and it looks like the HEX is on strike on Saturday, so just Liz line trains every 30 mins which will presumably cause chaos. I’d quite like to avoid the tube with heavy bags, so would ideally get the bags over to T3 on the Friday if I can. Travelling CE and I’m GCH if that makes any difference.
I’m assuming that BA won’t check the bags through from JER-GIB because the connection is more than 24 hours? Thanks in advance.

Twilight check in at T3 is available, best try to get there around 6pm or 7pm if you can when it's quiet but there are still more than a token number of staff around. BA won't interline bags over 24 hours at LHR.
