Yes, nothing stopping you checking in online for the VS part of your flight using the VS website or app. Even if you check-in online, you can still visit the standard check-in desk at the airport to drop your bags where they will be tagged for you or use the transfer desks at LGW.

Not sure why you cannot check-in for your Aer Lingus (EI) flight though? Many European EI flights now actually let you check-in online 30 days in advance (my MAN>DUB EI flight let me do that).

I think it's to do with interlining agreements - although I stand to be corrected on that. While I have not been able to do OLCI for a ORK-LHR flight with an onward journey, bags have always been interlined at check-in at the airport.

They all do provided that you have selected and paid for your seat. Otherwise it's OLCI at T-30 hours
