ARN early check in and baggage
As I'll have ten hours between flights at Stockholm I'm hoping that if I check in on line I can use the automated baggage drops?
I'm BAEC silver so am I right in thinking this will add 15kg to my 40kg business class luggage allowance?
If I'm right will the automated baggage drop allow this extra weight. My BAEC number is attached to the ticket but my luggage allowance is still showing as 40kg on the QR app.

I think I've read somewhere that at least SAS opens baggage drop 22 hours before departure.

QR doesn't use the SK checkin. They have their own and they open 3 hours (If I remember correctly) before the flights. So I think you might be out of luck there. The lockers might work best for your needs.

Definitely a fall back position but I live in hope that online check-in and automated baggage drop might be a solution.

Yes, it is 3 hours before departure, we tried in Jan to check in, while they were processing the earlier flight, without success, was told to come back 3hrs before. We were very early thanks to BA canx our flight, so had a 6 hour transfer instead of 3 hrs. Mrs L. was not at all happy.

This is correct. There is a QR ticket office opposite the check in counters. You might be able to plead your "case" there. I have no idea about your chances of success.

Further data point today, check in opened about 1425 for QR168 (afternoon flight) from ARN. No possibility of bag drop in the couple of hours prior to that. Check in desks 49 to 56 were used, and the aircraft used gate F66.
