Heathrow Terminals
In a couple of weeks, my wife and I will be arriving at London
Heathrow terminal 3, and will have to change to a plane departing from terminal 5. Can someone tell me how we get from one terminal to another (walk? train? bus?)? Do we have a choice? We don't mind walking if it won't take too long (we have 2-1/2 hours between flights if we arrive on time). And will we have to go through security again at terminal 5? Or does that depend on which transportation option we choose? -- Ken Blake |

Or does that depend on which transportation option we choose? From the Heathrow website - "Use Heathrow Express trains for a free transfer between Heathrow Central and Terminal 5. This quick, convenient service runs every 15 minutes and the journey takes about three minutes. Please ensure you board the correct train as Heathrow Express also runs non-stop to London Paddington. Heathrow Central is between Terminals 1 and 3, which are a few minutes' walk away via underground walkways and are signposted from the platforms. The Terminal 5 rail station is in the basement of the terminal and linked to check-in and arrivals by express lifts." |

I had seen that, but I wanted to find out about the alternatives (if there are any) and I also wanted to find out how to avoid the inconvenience of going through security again (if possible). -- Ken Blake |

If you are on a through ticket (not two separate bookings) your bags should get through-checked from origin to destination and you shouldn't need to collect them at Heathrow. -- JohnT |

He'll have to pass through immigration and customs to get to the train and through a full check-in procedure to get back into T5 if he does that. -- William Black Free men have open minds If you want loyalty, buy a dog... |

Depending on the queue for 'air side' security it can take anything from 40 minutes to 1 1/2 hours, but it's safe to assume about an hour gate-to-gate. -- William Black Free men have open minds If you want loyalty, buy a dog... |
