Will/can BA issue an AA domestic boarding pass
Will/ can BA issue an AA domestic US boarding pass at LHR if the AA flight is not on the same intinerary/ticket number as the BA flight, and not a BA codeshare?
|
I asked that question at LHR yesterday and was told no, my later domestic flight out of ORD on AA was not showing in their system (even though I had put in my BAEC number) ... later ended up in an interminable queue to check-in for F at ORD (short staffed due to illness, they said) ... in fact, it was a day for queues for F as I was gently requested to go to another desk, the T5 F area in LHR being chockablock at 9am yesterday

I have a lot of data on this and the answer is usually yes, sometimes no.
Often when BA will not issue a BP the agent tells me confidently that it is never possible. I used to argue but don't anymore. Its a similar story with QF. |
If it's of any consolation, even if BA issues a boarding pass in this circumstance it will be on BA stock and AA will make you let them reissue it on AA stock before you board the AA flight anyway. So you'd still have to stop by an AA kiosk or desk between flights.
At least that has been my experience in all instances where I have had BA print my AA boarding pass. |
Thanks...
Do the lounges at T5 have printers? I've never had to print anything, so I don't recall. It just occurred to me that I can do OLCI from a lounge and print out the bp there. If there are printers, of course.

Still had to queue as had one bag (not the expected three) to check in ... and yes, new boarding passes issued |

Any chance the AA flights were QF codeshares? If not, then I suppose our different experiences just further prove the fickle nature of air travel.

Dave BA can always issue a BP for AA domestic flight, on the same or different PNR; but many agents are too lazy or don't know how, and just say that they cannot. So try a different agent, or print your own. |

When QF starting introducing their new system, we had issues with issuing onward boarding passes. Sometimes it worked, other times it didn't. This now seems to be resolved. |
