Hi Shed,
I usually use hand luggage only for my trips. I am used to it and I pack well, haha! When I do have luggage to check-in then, of course, I would use other options.
I check-in on-line and I am already in possession of my BA boarding pass when I arrive in Dublin. I have never, so far, remotely have a problem and I have done the trip 5 times and 2 more times when I have connected to an Aer Lingus flight to Gatwick but that leaves Dublin 35 minutes later at 10:50.
On my return trips to Heathrow I normally get the train from Euston to Liverpool.
Yes, I take the risk if I miss the connection as I would if a train was late etc.

Hello, I book the flights myself and I am aware of MCT's at airports.
However, I will have to have a re-think after 4th May When EI Regional takeover although by that time the 10:15 Heathrow flight no longer operates but there is a later BA flight at 11:40.
Looking forward to the ATR though, lol
