Trouble checking in on AA/BA connecting flight

[lsalander93]

Hey all,

I’m having issues with checking in for a flight from JFK to LHR on BA, coming into JFK via Charleston and then Charlotte with AA. BA / AA are saying the only way I can check in for the BA leg is to check in at the airport in either Charlotte or JFK, the issue is my connections in both those two are sub 45 minutes, making JFK impossible as check in closes 1hr prior to departure, and Charlotte extremely close. Has anyone had any issues with this before? Quite keen to be checked in for the last LHR flight out of JFK today!

Thanks!

Is this all on one booking – I don’t really understand what your itinerary is? It reads as though you’re trying to do the whole thing in one day?!

This is likely because BA needs to do a passport check.

AA should be able to do this when you check in with them.
