I’d appreciate some guidance and advice from someone with more experience with award travel than me.

I’ve booked a cruise for June-July 2027 that sails from and returns to Dover, England so I want round-trip Business Class trans-Atlantic tickets for myself and my wife from the U.S. to LHR or LGW. My nearest airport to my home is CVG. I’m looking for ways to maximize the value of my various miles and points, realizing that I may not have enough to cover the entire trip with points. I also realize that I may have to book positioning flights to/from my gateway cities.

I have Aeroplan (114K); Delta (100K); AmEx (170K) and Chase UR (25K).

I’m stuck on figuring out how to eat this elephant. What’s a good approach?

When we booked it was still T5. We booked Sofatel in T5 for the overnight stay. As it's not classed by BA as a "significant" change (as it's the same airport) they won't change without a fee plus an additional hotel charge. So we will be staying in T5 overnight, and transiting to T3 in the morning to get the BGI flight. We'll have at least 4 checked bags, and don't fancy transiting between terminals with them. When it was all T5 it was just about managable.

Can we check all but one of our checked bags all the way from EDI to BGI, but collect one of the bags in LHR and check it back in the next day? We need access to some medical equipment overnight - I know we can carry it thru security but sometimes we get pulled aside for an additional check and this can take ages.

I've asked BA and the agent didn't seem very sure in the answer. So I thought I'd ask of anyone here has had any experience with this before?
