Rare Lois R Posted June 24, 2022 Author #53 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Just a note, I have been trying to check in on line for the past 20 minutes....on both the AA website and the BA website and of course neither one is letting me. The AA says "we are unable to check you in on line" please check in at the airport". And when I go to the BA website? It will not allow me to choose my seat without paying for it☹️......now, not sure if that is because that flight leaves later......7pm.....and I have to wait till 7 tonight or not.........but I tried at least 4 times on each website and I keep getting rejected. Nothing I can do really so will leave early for the airport tomorrow................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it looks like you may well have to wait until 24 hours before the departure of the BA flight, ie until 1905 tonight (7.05 pm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twickenham Posted June 24, 2022 #55 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I remember a few years ago flying on BA with an overnight layover in London. I could not check in for the second flight (LHR-YUL) until 24 hours before that flight, even though I was flying out of FCO the day before. Checked in online while relaxing in my London hotel room the night before :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare FlyerTalker Posted June 24, 2022 #58 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Sometimes, you cannot check in for an international flight unless the airline is in possession of enough documentation to know that you are legally entitled to make the flight - passports and possibly visa information. And some locations may also require vax data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I scanned in all the paperwork BA asked for and hit submit......within 24 hours I received an email saying they could not authorize what I had submitted and to please bring the paperwork to the agent at the airport.

Nope, Never have completed that and I have flown internationally at least 3 times since last summer. Not even sure what it is except that it is another app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did and had no issues with seats or providing paperwork at checkin. Friend traveling same flights did not and was required to wait until airport for seats and check-in.

Hi, well, now it is past 7 pm and there is not a field to click on for me to choose my seat😲..........I am actually on hold with BA at the moment. Looks like I won't be able to do anything until tomorrow when I check in at the airport. Well, I spoke with a nice gal at least and she got my seat booked..........23A....single. She said it would be on my boarding pass. Lets hope it goes smoothly tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you still can't check-in online, then it's likely to be one of the other problems already mentioned: you haven't put in your Advance Passenger Information, or you haven't entered whatever Covid vaccination and test result data may be required by the system for your trip. Anyway, I think there's unlikely to be anything to worry about because as things stand, 12½ hours before the flight, there are still 16 unoccupied seats in the business class cabin.

Hope it all goes smoothly. If it's just a document check issue, then you may find that AA check-in will be able to do that, and then to print all three boarding passes for you.

Globaliser Posted June 25, 2022 #67 Share Posted June 25, 2022 FWIW, it looks like the aircraft has gone out with something like 2 first, 8 business, 5 premium economy and 8 economy seats unoccupied (23 total). The configuration is said to be 8/76/40/130 (254 total), so an overall passenger load factor of 90.6%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
