Flying MIA-MXP on 24 Nov 09 and for the first time transitting LHR from AA term 3 into the new Term 5for a BA (AA codeshare) flight.. Question is: What does this transfer involve? I assume AA will check me in all the way to MXP fronm MIA. Upon landing at LHR will I have to pass British immigration and customs or just immigration. Will I not have to claim bags. I know I will have to take the Heathrow Express (free I gather from reading BAA's web page) to Terminal 5 where I have to reclear security. I'm assuming there is no sterile connection from AA terminal 3 to BA terminal 5.

Also, my layover at LHR is 3 hours. If the connection involves clearing Bcustoms/immigrationWill I be able to walk around the central terminal area to visit it to see the progression of the remodelings to term 1 and 2?

Missing baggage... (at least, that's what I got from connecting AA to BA (JFK-LHR-AMS)

No, they're labelled through to your final destination.

There is a bus transfer between these terminals, it runs via airside. After vacating the bus, you redo security.

That's all actually...

Flying is finished for 2009. In 2010: I booked to secure the Q400 on a new route from LCY, for January...

I'm not sure about that??
My understanding is that when you arrive at T3 you'll go to the connections center and then you'll catch a bus to T5....I stand to be corrected though!

From Heathrow's site.... Plan on 2 hours for the full transfer. Here's the URL:

Yes there is. You can connect between all LHR terminals without clearing immigration/customs. There is only an additional security check. Just follow the "Flight Connections" signs for T5.

Cool, thanks all! I had a feeling LHR connection was going to be worse than that. Also, great news on the bus connection. Makes it much easier!
