Mitre Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I wouldn't chance it. Heathrow is horrible. Too many things can go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fringo Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Folks is 1h 5 min realistically too tight for terminal 2 connection fly in from continent and looking to make a domestic both in terminal 2 Heathrow website says 60 mins minimum I did Edinburgh to Heathrow out to Faro and via Gatwick on way back. Both in 1 hour in the same terminals at both airports but the way back was tight because you had to go out/in security again. Also add in possible minor flight delays - even 10 or 15 mins and that could be tricky. On the way out from Edinburgh, the check girl seemed to think it was tight also but more so for my suitcase transfer (which turned out to be fine). I think next time I'd try and err on the side of caution though. PS 1 hr 15 mins probably ok unless you get delayed.

Newryrep Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Thanks for the replies lads I probably won't risk it unless the cost in flight difference is prohibitive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringo Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Thanks for the replies lads I probably won't risk it unless the cost in flight difference is prohibitive I'd say the 15 mins extra is enough to be ok, although you just could get unlucky.

Fairbairn Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 If you're luggage is booked straight through and you're not changing terminals then you should make it no worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newryrep Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 lads it was austrian airlines back from Sarajevo/Vienna trying to make a BA into Belfast. I have booked the 630 flight as the 15.30 was too tight, it was just as well as I thought they were both Terminal 2 turns out the BA flight is outa Terminal 5 . Have only 3 hours to kill on a side note you cant checkin online on a BA flight until 24 hours before departure ? - what is this the dark ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 24-hours for everyone. The BA-app really is idiot proof though. Install it before you go and it'll take 20 seconds using some free wi-fi somewhere.

Newryrep Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Why don't all the old scheduled airlines have the 30 days grace ? Even Ryanair are a week Croation airlines the same online checkin 24 hours before flight prefer not to leave it to the last minute to be scrambling around trying to print or download passes Have enough time for all three checkin anyway but still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecie Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 It's because of flexible business class tickets and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
