London Heathrow Transfer from Terminal 5 to Terminal 3 | Travel Vlog 

Thank you for posting this!

Super helpful!

Thanks for sharing this video

Thanks for all the advice! 😊

Have fun with the family 💐

My uncle and I had 3 hour layover at Heathrow on our way back home to Dallas and almost missed our flight! Definitely plan for 4 or more hours if you have to transit through Heathrow.

Great choice of topic for us serious travelers that watch you! Brave lady, bravo. I wouldn’t dare go anywhere near Heathrow 😮

Tiffany, I'm never, ever flying British Airways or layover via Heathrow! Thinking I would save $300 on my last summer round trip from Newark to Athens with BA through a 3 hour layover at Heathrow but it almost turned out to be a nightmare as I barely made my connecting flights on both ways! Landing in Heathrow you're most likely have to wait about one and a half on the tarmac for a gate to open! And departing Heathrow, they had us board the plane on time BUT once on the tarmac we had to sit in the plane for another hour and a half for our turn to fly through European summer air traffic instead of waiting in the boarding areas of the terminals because Heathrow cannot accomondate so many passengers in their terminals with their overbooked flights!! And not to mention about the STRICT security between connecting flights, where we were given a plastic bag to pack any liquids that we were carrying and once it went through the security scanner and deamed suspicious, it was set aside to be checked again by a security personel!! And lastly...British Airways charges and in-flight meal on an almost four hour flight??? Are you kidding me?? Enough of my rant...

Great video, very useful, thank you! Next time, if you can record the whole walk continuously and capture images of the signs, I think it could be a standalone video.

I have not been brave enough to book a connection through LHR; every time I look, from LAX to ATH through LHR, the connection is around 90 minutes...that surely does not seem like enough time! Thanks for covering this topic, Happy New Year!

Thank you for this very useful upload. Isn't there also a rail option?

Nice video! It's a good thing that LHR connections should improve a bit in the next year or so due to the upgrading of airport security in the UK (no electronics will need to come out, liquids rules will end too). Overall, I very much enjoy the chaos of Heathrow (probably that's because I've gotten used to it since birth). It isn't perfect, and does have a number of flaws, but when the winds are in your favor, it can be a great time!

Thank you, great content, just subscribed! Is there a passport control when you go from Terminal 5 to Terminal 3? Or it is just airport security? [No, just read the comments below :-) ]

Was it British airways partly operated by American airlines? If so, did you have to check in your luggage again due to the change in airline?

These transatlantic flights are exhausting. Especially when you have to change planes. 🤒

Thanks for the heads up, it looks to be one of the most spread out airports in the world. Is it has big as O'Hare?

I have never been through Heathrow, except when I was visiting London. My flights to Athens are straight from Toronto, no layovers. I wonder if you can get a flight from Athens perhaps to New York, and then Dallas? Would that not be easier, and not have to go through Heathrow?

Thanks for this - flying Dublin to Sao Paulo via Heathrow next month, and Sao Paulo is one of the few flights BA operates from Terminal 3... had I known this at time of booking I would've booked Air France or TAP. I've 1 hour 50 mins to make the connection. Will be interesting to see if I make it...

Tiffany-So your bags were checked all the way through to Dallas from ATH? I always try to get at least four hours too. Not just Heathrow, but Rome, etc. I keep seeing flights from the US to ATH going through like Paris or AMS with very short layovers (an hour to 90 min.). I don’t understand those and haven’t dared try!

I have a flight connecting from terminal 5 to terminal 4 and i have a hour and half to connect will i be able to make it? From terminal 5 to 4?

Hi Tiffany, what about our luggage? Will they automatically transfer our luggage to the other terminal?

Do you need a ticket for the bus? I know it’s free but is there another stop we need to make or can we just go straight to the bus stop?

I had a connecting flight once through Gatwick and it was also very chaotic and disorganized.

Hay thanks for video , do you pass through passport control to go from T5 to T3 or vice versa ?

Looking to save from having to take 2 connecting flights where I can take just one at Heathrow. Is a 5 hour layover a good amount of time? Or is it not even worth it? I feel like I’d rather have one stop than 2 even if it’s a longer layover

Well crap! I’m flying to London and connecting to Amsterdam. So I have to go from terminal 3 to 5 and my layover is only 95 minutes or so. Now I’m nervous lol

US immigration at a London airport?

I just noticed that we only have 1 hour and 45 minutes to transit from terminal 5 to 3... Thanks a lot! WE WILL RUN

I have 125min to get from to 5. Do you think it's not enough?

"I have a connecting flight from Istanbul to Vancouver with a 1.40 layover at Heathrow Airport. Do you think I have enough time to get from Terminal 5 to Terminal 3?"

Is 2. Hours enough?

Surprisngly neither Heathrow nor British Airways provide any insight into connection. It looks as if they dont want passenger to make connections? What form of capitalism?
