OK, forgive me now, I don't believe this one either but hubby is insisting this was the content of an email he had from BA today. Unfortunately he's deleted the mail so we can't check, and a visit to ba.com does not suggest any changes to operating procedure.
Here's the thing:
He says he's had an email today saying that there will no longer be any traditional check-in desks for BA flights. There will be online checkin or self-service at the kiosk with baggage drop, but nothing else. Could be just at EDI, could be everywhere, he couldn't recall. :rolleyes:
I find this so unlikely as to be ridiculous (to the extent that we are currently not on speaking terms, not ideal circumstances for a weekend as I'm sure you'll agree! :O ). How can you deal with kids/disabled/other special case pax without check-in desks? And what about the people who are techinically disadvantaged, like my mum who's 70 and frightened of computers?
Please, somebody, tell me I'm right and he's wrong!!
(Or else I might have to resort to the Agony Aunt thread ..... )
