Transit: Heathrow Terminal 3 to Terminal 4

I am not familiar with this airside, landside thing. Do you mean, leave the terminal 4 like a passenger with final destination as London and then returning to Terminal 1 as a new passenger? I actually transferred 4 to 1 on the airside bus, and only when walking to the security check here did I see to leave immigration - of course as a UK national it took moments and there was no queue, and I knew it was a short walk (and I could get a coffee in between) to get to security. If that is the case,you would need to clear the immigration too,twice or once like in North America? There is no exit immigration, so you'd just have the entry - I'm not sure if they'd be that happy with a non EU wave through person entering for 5 minutes, but maybe... Jim. |

What is the ``fast track'' line at the Heathrow? We are four of us, with a preschooler and an infant;all Canadians. Would we qualify to use that? |

Transit: Heathrow Terminal 3 to Terminal 4
"Rowen" wrote in message news:fqtQf.132439$H%4.25305@pd7tw2no... I read the reviews in http://www.airlinequality.com/Airpor..._forum/lhr.htm and I am panicking. I will have 3 hrs and 35 minutes to catch my connecting flights, if both flights are on time (ha! ha!).I've looked at http://www.heathrowairport.com/, it says 60 minutes is good enough. In the reviews,I could not find any comments from transit passengers. So,if you have done Terminal 3 to Terminal 4 transfer as a transit passenger recently, I would like to hear from you. Land side the terminal transfer is 30 minutes max. 10 minute walk to Heathrow Express. 0-15 minutes wait for the next train (free between terminals). 5 minutes walk to check in. I guess that there is an air-side bus that is at least as frequent with less walk. Of course you need to add on the normal immigration/luggage etc times as well. tim |

What is the purpose of your visit sir, how long will you be staying sir? etc. Or would you suggest telling porkies to the immigration officer? Jim. |

Fast Track line is for First and Business Class passengers. There is a dedicated security check line and it will cost you one minute instead of maybe 10. If you are on a tight schedule, the security guy will actually let you use the fast track line regardless of your ticket class. AFAIK this applies to British Airways only, i.e. you have to fly British Airways First or Business or be on a tight schedule. |

That would be pretty odd, there's a fast track at T3, and T3 I don't think has any BA flights at all (although someone will probably turn up one :-) Jim. |
