Heathrow T1 connection

Kiith

Can anyone tell me if 90 minutes is enough time to get through security, get my bags and then get my ticket to Dublin in Heathrow terminal 1 (landing and flying from T1)? I'm flying back today, and had assumed my bag would be checked the whole way, but it's not. I've only got my tickets from Wellington to Heathrow, so will need to queue up again for my Dublin flight again.

Tried calling the crowd I booked it with, but no luck getting through to them. Just worried I'll miss the connection home.

Flying in with AirNZ and flying to Dublin with BA if it matters.

the flight comes in early so they can say they are on time,so you should have 20 minutes extra

rush through security and don't stop to shop as theres a long walk to Dublin flight maybe 20 minutes

check your baggage claim stub you might be checked through to Dublin,you might have to get your bag then drop it off on another conveyor ,you could check in online for Dublin flight and drop your baggage off,

there should be a ba desk at arrivals hall,talk to them while waiting for bag

you hold a boarding pass and luggage is labelled to final UK or European destination - follow the purple ‘Flight Connections’ signs upon arrival at Terminal 1. Proceed through Security and Passport Control where staff will give directions to the departure gate and terminal for the onward flight. For flights operating from a terminal other than Terminal 1, bus transfers are available.

If you do not hold a boarding pass for the next flight these can be collected at the relevant airlines transfer desk at the Flight Connections Centre. Customs Clearance will be at final UK or European destination.

If you do not hold a boarding pass from your final destination and your luggage has not been checked right through to your final UK destination - i.e. your baggage receipt shows 'LHR' - clear immigration, retrieve your checked-in baggage, clear customs and check-in for the onward flight

This was where I am unsure. I don't have a boarding pass for the Dublin flight, but my bag tag (on the back of my Auckland - Heathrow ticket) says 'DUB BA836' above LHR, so I assumed the bag would go straight through to Dublin. But after asking the Air NZ people here, they said I'll need to clear customs, get my bags and then check back in/drop of bags.

I'll just check with BA once I arrive. Hopefully I'll have enough time either way.

Cheers.

I would ask at the gate before you board your nz flight

the ticket agents should know better


it looks like you just follow flight connections at Heathrow

yellow sign and go to ba desk and get your ticket,you do customs in Ireland

but there's 2 or 3 immigration checks at Heathrow,they take your photo so have your ticket and passport handy,then look for your gate,its a long walk

Yeah, I'll ask in Auckland before the main flight. Cheers.
