You will check in with Aer Lingus

Definitely Aer Lingus for check-in... in fact, I am 99% sure that British Airways no longer fly to/from Birmingham (other than as a codeshare flight on an Aer Lingus plane).

You check in with which ever airline operates your 1st leg of the flight, regardless of who you book it with. It should say on your booking/ticket "operated by ..."

You are correct. BA (CityFlyer) was operating a few short haul summer weekend services from BHX in 2018, but discontinued those for 2019.

So yes, just code shares now. In addition to Aer Lingus, may also be codeshares with flights operated by Iberia Express and Qatar Airways, though the latter is not particularly relevant for Florida.

Yes,Aer Lingus.
Rule of thumb is not who you booked with, but who�s plane you are flying on
