TP Carryon (above limit) options from LHR
Funny question: I arrive from a BA T5 Longhaul connecting to a TP flight, 2h5m connection (unrelated tickets)
I will have a bit large carryon (fine for longhaul with status, I doubt works for intra europe TP) and a backpack.
Is there a place in T2 -airside- I can send it (I have a cheapo ticket and happy to pay whatever it costs). I cannot go landside.
Alternatively EF is showing the flight is rather empty, just head to the flight, if they let me board fine, if they gate check it for me for free or ask me to pay, also fine. Any issues? (what I don't want is "you cannot fly")

Not sure what you mean by this but if you are asking is there a post office airside you can use to send a large item like a case to somewhere else (home / office) then the answer is no.

I won't comment on the risks inherent in having unrelated tickets and that you are not strictly speaking connecting.

T2 gate staff are all contracted and tend to apply the limits quite ruthlessly in economy and sometimes in business though generally less so. In the worst case they'll gate check it and charge you for it. If you're in business you can have two pieces anyway and there's not so much scrutiny of the business line up.
