Enough layover time in Heathrow
I have posted this in the flight forum also, but thought I might get more response here.
Flying on AA landing at Heathrow at 7:50am. Taking separate flight from LHR on BA to Prague. Two choices on Prague flight. BA has a 10:20am and a 12pm flight to Prague. Would like to take the 10:20 flight (giving me 2 1/2 hrs between flights) but from frequent previous experience with delays and the size of Heathrow, is this the best choice? Thanks for your help. |
Under normal conditions, you should have enough time (AA lands in T3, BA's flight to Prague departs from T3 as well). Delays would be my only worry. I take it it was cheaper to book them separately?

By "separate flight" if you mean "separate ticket" then the longer layover is the safe bet. However, AA might agree to through-check your bags to PRG (if you show them both reservations at check-in) in which case you could do an airside connection with T3 (which AA uses and BA also uses for Prague) in which case 10:20 would be adequate.
If AA doesn't check your bags to PRG then you'd have to recover them and go through UK border controls, then re-check the bags and go back through security, which could make it dicey. |
Thank you both. Using AA miles to London and paying for BA to Prague. Couldn't get good connections on miles, so decided to buy the Prague ticket. Only taking carry-on bags, and since both arrival and departure are in T3 (per your info) so it seems that from what you are saying, we should be able to make to earlier connection.

As long as your original flight isn't delayed...
