Heathrow Airport

Arrived at Heathrow Terminal 5 and realized a landing card for the destination country wasn’t printed. Looking for a place in the terminal to print a document from a USB. Access is available to most lounges in Terminal 5 except the Concorde Room. Trying to find out if any of the...

Landed at Heathrow after a delayed flight, already exhausted, and then found out my checked bag didn’t arrive. Went over to the lost luggage area and there was one busy BA staff member and a bunch of self service tablets. Tried one tablet. Broken. Tried another. Also broken. So...

Nice routing. For the Concorde Room at LHR, yes. You’re arriving same day in BA First, so you should have access on arrival. Concorde Room access is tied to flying BA First that day, not whether your onward ticket is separate. First Wing is where it gets tricky. Since your...

Short answer: BA isn’t uniquely terrible with luggage. But Heathrow connections are where bags go to test your patience. When you connect through LHR, especially on separate legs like BA to Iberia or mixed handling, there are more chances for a misconnect. Tight transfer times,...

Flew through LHR last week as Platinum, but in main cabin. Last time I totally missed some of the benefits and just stood in regular security like everyone else. This time I was told to scan my boarding pass near the SkyPriority counters and use the Virgin Upper Class Wing. Game...

My 15 year old son is flying LHR–FRA–RUH–FRA–LHR with Lufthansa. We decided not to book the unaccompanied minor service. I saw this note about the adult bringing the child to the airport needing to be 18+ and contactable until departure. Is that only if you book the...

Has anyone else noticed American selling connections through Heathrow with only about an hour between flights? Official MCT at LHR is 75 minutes if you’re staying in the same terminal. The itineraries I’m seeing require a terminal change, which makes this feel completely...

I was boarding at T5, C gates, in my correct group. After scanning my boarding pass and heading down the escalator toward the jetbridge, a BA employee standing at the bottom pointed at me specifically, asked to see my boarding pass again, wrote my name down on a piece of paper,...

I’m landing at Heathrow T5 around 10:15am on BA from Toronto. Planning to book a separate BA ticket onward to somewhere like Nice, Venice, or Pisa, also out of T5. No checked baggage, but I know I’ll still need to clear immigration, exit, then go back through security. Looking...

Was anyone else on the Dublin to Vancouver connection through Heathrow yesterday? DUB to LHR was nearly two hours late with zero explanation or apology. About 15 to 20 of us were clearly going to miss connections and the crew did absolutely nothing to help. No early deplaning....

Just saw some news about SAS cabin crew possibly striking during the Christmas period. Supposedly cabin crew will walk out Dec 22 to 24 and again on the 26th, and flights to hubs like Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Oslo could be affected. What’s stressing me out is I’m flying from...

Flying Delta into Heathrow T3 at 6:45am and BA just moved our EDI connection up to 8:25am in T5. No checked bags, just carry ons, but we still have to clear UK border and transfer terminals. Feels really tight for a Monday morning. Immigration lines at that hour can be hit or...

Flying through T3 soon and trying to get a feel for the lounge situation now that Club Aspire is closed. Seems like No1 Lounge gets packed pretty reliably, especially this time of year, so pre booking might be the only way to avoid getting turned away. Anyone been through...

Alaska still hasn’t opened up SEA to LHR for next summer and I’m guessing it won’t show up until they finalize the leased Heathrow slots from AA. They’ve got the SEA KEF and SEA FCO trees live now, but nothing yet for London which makes planning a Europe trip kinda annoying....

Just saw this bit of news and honestly kinda wild. Alaska didn’t get any Heathrow slots through the normal process, so they’re leasing a daily pair from American to run SEA to LHR starting May 2026. Daily 787 9s, at least through October, maybe longer if they can keep the lease...

Got a LAX to Delhi itinerary on Virgin with a 2 hour connection at Heathrow, same terminal. Kinda tight for winter travel and I’ve never done an international-to-international at LHR this close before. Anyone had luck with a 2 hour window there?

Landing at LHR T3 at 23:35 with a 5 year old, two big suitcases, and a backpack. Really want to avoid dealing with the Elizabeth Line and then a taxi that late, especially if passport control drags. I’m hoping for a fixed price transfer where the driver meets us in arrivals and...

Flying out of Heathrow T5 on Nov 20 and wondering if I should prebook a Priority Pass lounge. First time using it and don’t want to get turned away if it’s packed. Anyone know how busy T5 usually gets?

Posting this for my cousin who’s cabin crew. She was flying standby on staff travel at Heathrow T4 and didn’t make her first flight, so she’d been waiting around landside for hours. While sitting on the floor near check-in, two security officers came up, chatted with her, asked...

My partner’s flying solo on an AA flight to Heathrow (not business, no status) and is an authorized user on my Citi AAdvantage Executive card. My card says “Admirals Club” on the back theirs doesn’t. AA phone rep said they can still get into the Arrivals Lounge with the card and...

I really messed up and now have a 15-hour layover at Heathrow (6pm to 9am). I’d love to find somewhere safe and quiet to rest or nap overnight without having to book a hotel or deal with transport. I’m a solo senior traveler, still pretty spry, just hoping for a calm spot to...
