Hey, quick question. We're flying from Berlin to Miami. Connecting at Heatrow in 75 minutes. Apparently moving terminal 3 to terminal 5.
Will that be enough? I know it will take about 30 minutes as standard, but it still doesn't seem enough.
It comes to....which part of T5, it has 3. What's the bus queue gonna be like. If there's no delays, it shouldn't be a problem.
Did somebody really sell it with 75 minutes? I thought the MCT between T3 and T5 was 90 minutes.
The BA flight from Berlin should be landing at T5.
Then it should be at the same T5 terminal.
Check with the airline (BA) which terminal the flight from Berlin lands at.
The flight to Miami will probably be from terminal 5C.
You can make it.
If it's from Berlin T5, then it's OK. I was confused because Prague flies T3.
Thanks, everybody. The flight from Berlin is indeed landing at T5. So I'll buy it, but if I can't make it, woe betide you :-)
75 is the minimum connection time on T5, so it should be fine.
That Miami airport is a mess.
Long hallways, escalators that don't work, you have to take a train... and then there's the huge lines at immigration.
Then you come out of customs and have to wiggle your way out of the terminal where the next train goes to the rental car lot.
