London Forum: Glasgow to heathrow to us layover question

Thank you very much!

Although the headlines says GLA, have to suspect that you're not flying out of GLA? The only airline flying GLA to Heathrow is BA, and they use T5.

I'm guessing the itinerary is actually on bmi from EDI into T1?

You need to check whether your bags will be checked through or whether you need to collect them at T1 then check thenm in again for the second flight.

I don't know how my husband's name popped up as having asked the question when I signed in under my name

You are right, I am flying frm EDI and not Glasgow. I am ticketed through united-continental but this is the routing they set up. I am unsure whether I can check my luggage through, though I hope so! Guess if that happens we really won't have too much time. My experience flying into London as been very slow lines.

If you are through ticketed then Continental will be obliged to get you to Newark on the next available flight should you miss the connection. The trouble is that it could be next day!

Having said that you have plenty of time and will connect airside. This webpage explains the process - heathrowairport.com/heathrow-airport-guide/f…
