  • 417 posts

    In Upper from ATL so if you decide to use the Virgin arrivals lounge at T3, what do you do with your luggage if you have just landed and need to transfer to T5 for A ba domestic connection? It mentions they will look after hand luggage, but we will have golf clubs and cases.
    Or is it better just to go straight over to T5?

    Thanks

    Is this 2 separate bookings? How long between flights?

    I do this every two to four weeks – VS back to LHR, BA from T5 to the regions. Fairly large storage area behind the desk at Revivals, which is never absolutely packed. Pop the clubs in one corner, and the cases on a shelf or somewhere sensible, and you’ll be fine.

    Don’t you book it all on one PNR (cash bookings, obvs)?

    Nope – two separate PNRs. They’re cash bookings, but done via a CTA who can’t fathom even basic things, let alone how to get BA on 932 stock. I opt for free SDC on BA, and amend as I need to via the CTA (or pay £60 if I can’t be bothered explaining to them that they need to call BA Trade Support if they want ‘proof’ that what I’m telling them about free SDC is correct!).

    That sucks – it’s bad enough doing T3-T5 with just one’s cabin baggage!

    It’s a self serve baggage room at the revivals lounge fyi; not labelled bags stored by an agent like the BA Arrivals lounge
