Hi guys,
Travelling BA from EDI to LHR and then after a few hours i will be travelling from LHR to LAX with United Airlines.
I wanted to ask if BA and UA had an interline agreement at all so i could check through baggage from EDI, all the way through and collect it at LAX.
Both are separate itineraries however.
Appreciate the help!
On separate tickets they won’t interline.
BA don’t even interline separate tickets all on BA metal! so don’t expect them to do so here
“After a few hours”.
What’s the actual timings? It doesn’t sound like you’ve left enough time to arrive, wait for and collect luggage, transfer to T2 by Tube or Train, check-in/check bags, go through security…
Anyone know if domestics have settled down a bit with their reliability?
Night before, especially on separate bookings! The mere suggestion of doing a same-day connection with checked bags on different PNRs makes me hyperventilate. I would suggest OP checks whether they can move the domestic leg.

Domestics are absolutely fine with reliability especially from EDI that is me saying with experience.
And theres an 8 hour connection between my flights so plenty of time.

Haha I understand the hyperventilation however I’ve an 8 hour connection and its a risk i will be willing to take on.

First time I’ve heard of this and of course BA don’t allow it. Its BA afterall

Ok but have a Plan B (and possibly C) thought out beforehand in case of any delays/cancellations on the day of travel, in case BA does their usual trick of offering you a flight the next day (or possibly the day after that)!

It’s been BA policy since 2016 and IB and AA have the same policy within One World since that’s the OW policy.
It gets mentioned on here on an almost weekly basis.
