LAX check-in bag on a different flight check-in

Hi,

i am flying on BA268 which departs at 7:30pm from LAX. Would it be possible to check-in bags during the check-in for a flight BA282 which departs 5:40pm? I would like to get rid of the bags much sooner and go sightseeing little bit more.

thanks.

You cannot check in bags for a flight you are not taking.

I don't think that is what OP is asking. He is asking if the bags can be checked in for the later flight whilst the check in is open for the earlier flight. It still seems unlikely, but someone else may know better about LAX.

I'm assuming the OP is asking to check in for his flight while check-in is open for the prior flight, rather than if he can check his bags on the earlier flight!

I would be astonished if you couldn't do this.

Checked in at LAX for the BA280 (17:05 departure), whilst check-in was underway for the earlier flight, no issues at all.

It depends on if the airport has enough advance storage, Miami for example doesnt and if you are on the later flight and try And check in whilst they check in the earlier flight you will politely be declined.

Frequently travel from LAX and you’ll be fine to check your bags in earlier - roughly anytime from 12:30pm.
