Hi everybody!
Can anyone advise if a little over 6 hours is enough time to transfer from Terminal 4 to Terminal 5 at LHR?
Please consider that I am travelling in separate tickets, it means I need to clear Immigration and collect luggage at T4 and transfer by land-side bus to T5.
I am arriving at 12 PM to T4 on Qatar Airways Business Class and will depart at 6:10 PM from T5 on Iberia Business Class as well; but as I said, on separate tickets.
I will appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks

Separate tickets are always a risk . . . but if your incoming flight is even 2 hours late, that should be be PLENTY of time.

That should be enough time. However, that transfer is a royal pain, to be avoided if possible, although being in biz may improve things.

1) That should be enough time. Obviously, there is always some risk with separate tickets, but it should be enough time.

2) Unless you have a reason you need to claim your bags, you should be able to have the bags checked through, as both carriers are members of OneWorld. I'd ask when you check the bags in with Qatar (have your Iberia confirmation code handy). If you do that, then you could transfer airside, saving the hassle at immigration.

Re: interlining (having the bags checked through). Maybe not, see this:
