"From 21 March 2004 customers departing on British Airways scheduled services from the North Terminal at Gatwick can check in, deposit baggage and collect their boarding cards, the day before their flight departs.
Who can use this service?
This service will be available for customers on any Intercontinental Service departing the following day, and also, for those customers departing on European Services (excluding charters) and Domestic services that leave on or before 09:55 the following day.
Self Service details/Self Check-in process.
Early check-in is available only between 18:00 and 23:00 on the day prior to departure for those passengers qualifying as shown above.
All customers using this facility will need to present themselves, their documents and all their checked baggage as though they were about to travel.
They will be asked to use the Self Service Check-in machines at Zone C, and then proceed to drop their bags at the Fast Bag Drop Desks in Zone C.
Those Customers that hold Premier, Gold or Silver Executive Club cards will also be able to check-in at their appropriate Premium Check-in desk in Zone C (although still not prior to 18:00).
Day of Departure process.
Customers using Early Check-in will need to present themselves on the day of departure at their departure gate at least 45 minutes prior to scheduled departure time for Intercontinental services, and 30 minutes prior to departure for passengers travelling to European and Domestic destinations.

Once checked in, British Airways will not be able to retrieve baggage for customers.

We will not be able to check-in non-present members of families/groups."

Does this mean that it just spits out your boarding pass and you have no choice about where you sit, or is there an actual person that you can speak to when you check in?!!! Just wondering!!!!! We usually check in early and have been lucky in the past in getting bulkhead seats, I'm guessing that these would not be available on the twilight system?!!!
Help!!

How to use a Self-Service Check-in kiosk
If you have an e-ticket booking:
Simply insert your credit/debit card into the kiosk to retrieve your booking. The card will be used for identification purposes only
If you have booked directly with British Airways, you will need to
use the same credit/debit card that you used to make your booking.
Again, the card will be used for identification purposes only
Review your booking. If you are travelling as part of a group of up to six passengers, confirm whether you would like to check in the other passengers within your booking
Confirm whether you have baggage to check in
You may check in for your return flight if it is within 24 hours
Choose your seat from the interactive seating plan
Add or change your Frequent Flyer details if required
Answer the security questions
Confirm whether a copy of your itinerary receipt is required - It is strongly recommended that you retain a copy of your itinerary receipt throughout your journey as some destinations may require you to show it as proof of travel
Collect your printed boarding pass from the kiosk. Please wait for both boarding passes if you have checked in for your return flight.
If you have a ticket with a magnetic stripe:
Simply insert your ticket to begin the check in process
Review your booking
Confirm whether you have baggage to check in
You may check in for your return flight if it is within 24 hours
Choose your seat from the interactive seating plan
Add or change your Frequent Flyer details if required
Answer the security questions
Your boarding details will be printed on your ticket
Re-collect your ticket from the kiosk. The section on the right hand side will act as your boarding pass.
