Since BA doesn't fly out of Midway (runways are too short for long-haul aircraft), I doubt if the picture is of their ticket desk.

The uniforms look quite BA-ish and I think the plastic stand on the desk looks like it is stuffed with WT baggage tags.....not that I have seen any in a while

This of course has nothing to do with BA, it's just a stock photo.

It looks like the BA counter at IAD. Look at the glass wall in the background, and how it jets out towards the top.

On closer inspection it does! which would make that the F check-in desk (being on the end of the row)

Unusual to have WT tags at IAD, last few times I've been through they've only had F for all classes, which meant people finding and excuse to put them on anything; carrier bags, handbags, wallets (

) etc etc
