Oh, ffs

[desperance]

So I made the big bold phone-call, and am told that it's not possible to check in online as my first flight is operated by American Airlines, not BA. This is bollocks in so many ways, I can barely count them: notably, it's a BA flight on a BA plane, and I took exactly the same flight at the same time to the same destination three months ago and checked in all three of my connecting flights online despite half of them being AA. Aaargh and likewise grr.

So I shall go to the airport in the morning and the BA person at the BA desk will check me in for the BA flight, and refuse or be unable to check me in for the AA flights; and when I get to Heathrow I'll have to do it all again; and aaargh, and likewise grr.

I am going downstairs now, to eat potted kippers and sulk and be neurotic.
