Pay for your bags at time of arrival and not through a third party site, they will rip you off!

Be ready for checking luggage and going through security. We did and sailed right through.
HashemFlew with United Airlines-Jul 2024
I don’t think any airline has the best boarding. Maybe American Airlines has the most comfortable and up-to-date airplanes. Always go super early to any airport leave an apple AirTag in your bag always ask Agent if your chair and or seat will be properly working
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Feb 2024
BA is the only check in located on the first floor of Terminal B behind the baggage ans escalators. It is very hard to find. However, arriving early meant check in was a breeze and NO LINE at security. That has never happened at any airport. They are doing it right.
