sorry that is actually terminal 3

This was a British Airways flight from Naples, Italy with a 1.5 hour layover before going to Boston. It was booked as Naples to Boston with a layover in London for 1.5. So apparently British Airways switches terminals.

@@VirtCam Yes, and that's probably because Heathrow is the BA's main hub and you switched from a 'local European' flight to an international flight. The video was still interesting and informative, though!

@@ganymedes62 The vast vast majority of BA's flights at Heathrow are from Terminal 5, but they use Terminal 3 as kind of an overflow.

Unfortunately, KLM has moved back to T4. They were only in T3 due to T4 being closed during COVID, I think. It looks like some BA flights are using T3 in 2023 as all Iberia flight are back over at T5.

Hey I have question Do you need visa when you fly international I mean l am from Turkey and l am going to Bahamas l just need international fly

@@umitekingorunmez9513 Check with the Bahama government's website. U.S. citizens don't need a visa to visit the Bahamas but I don't know about Turkey.

@@akkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Sorry, I don't know. I suggest asking your airline or the UK Border Agency. I'm going to guess if you don't go through UK passport control, remain inside the airport terminals solely for transiting, you might not need any sort of visa, but I'm not sure. UK immigration is kind of strict. Fortunately, I travel on a U.S. passport so no visa required, although I've heard in the future there may need to be ETAs (electronic travel authority) to enter. It's like that to go to Australia for me. It's no big deal. You fill out a form online, pay something like $20, and it's immediately done.

The late gate posting is a Heathrow thing. I didn't experience it in Glasgow or Edinburgh. T3->5 is a pretty easy, smooth transfer if you can use Flight Connections.

how long time does this take aprox? i have a 2hr layover and no checked luggage goin from terminal 2 to 4.

@@uberbased2382 I think 2h would be enough.

@@mstrmren i have 1hr35min. which it says on the website 1.hr 30min at least for this transfer lol

Was it enough 1 hour 30?

Can you tell me your experience? I’m flying from CLT to Edinburgh with an hour and 25 min layover at Heathrow and I’m very nervous about that time frame! Were you able to make your connection?

Thank you for clarification

Enjoy we also did an Athens airport arrival video

It is

Yes there are lifts, on the other side of the escalators.

If you already checked in for the international flight at the original destination you should be good to go leaving the bags.

But in some cases you may need to fetch your luggage. It’s best to confirm with the airline at checkin

You can arrive from either side although the majority of the terminal is on the side shown in this video. Out of 18 trips through Heathrow, only once have I not landed in the direction shown here!

That’s a good question actually. I would assume If you don’t leave the airport and just transfer terminals you should not have to process immigration

no

my guess is yes.... that's the part I came to see and that's the part i think he edited out 16:20

Customs in both England and France, sort of. Follow the purple signs! What he said looks like a passport scanner, actually is a scanner for your ticket. Put the ticket face down I think, and the "gate" opens to let you through. Like a metro gate. Usually it is very quick to get through this area because there are quite a few scanners. This is where the customs booths used to be, and those could take quite a long time. Then, you go up the escalator to get to security, similar to our TSA. Now that can still take quite a long time! I was there two weeks ago (May 2023) and they are testing new luggage scanners that allow you to keep your liquids and electronics in your luggage. It is much quicker! Eventually the new scanners are supposed to be in use for all the security lines there. But for now - it can be very time consuming to get through security. I fly to Nice from there, and yes, you do have customs in Nice but it usually goes pretty quickly. Usually there are two booths that each have two customs officers. One booth for EU residents, one for All Others. I suspect there will be customs wherever you land in France but may not be too bad - unless you are going to Paris!

It takes about 30 minutes but really depends on timing

@@VirtCam Thank you:)

I have never seen security as empty as it was in this video! If you are in transit to another flight, you go through the turnstile things that were pictured in the video. You scan your ticket to get through and it is pretty quick. Then you may go right up the nearby escalator or you may be directed through some hallways and then up a different escalator. Security will be right at the top, sometimes a 5 minute line or sometimes 20 minutes. You don't have to remove your shoes unless you think they might set off the scanner! There are several Security people at the conveyors to help you figure out what you have to take out of your cases if you don't know. In September they had a new experimetal machine and my three tablets and two phones could stack in the bin in the zipper cases I carry them in. But in December I had to take them all out and put them in the bin separately, no stacking. My husband had an insulin pump and that always caused a problem!

Te solicitan visa de tránsito?

No because even though the terminals are quite far away from each other. It’s about a 5 minute bus ride from T5 to T3 security shouldn’t take long but it will be busy. You should be fine though.

@@christiansmith3218 Thanks : ). But actually I’ve been tracking BA2613 and well, it seems to be often late by about 20 min., sometimes even worse. Heathrow website says that I should allow at least 1h and 30 min. to make this connection. So, I assume that I should be fine. Worst case scenario it’s BA problem to get me on the next available flight and there are plenty of them to SFO per day

I’m flying on BA 287 on Tuesday and I’m so excited to visiting San Francisco. You will have plenty of time, just do the same as this video and follow flight connections for T5. BA287 usually leaves from C gates which requires you to take a monorail but doesn’t take long. Enjoy your holidays.

@@davidgriffiths3713 Thanks : ). I've noticed that the process seems to be pretty efficent. Now my concern is about travel chaos in UK airports that may lead to long waiting at security lines. Thankfully BA cancellations in the last several weeks haven't affected any of my flights at this time. I just hope that everything goes smoothly. I've been planning this trip for years now and if anything happens, it will be the second time that I have to cancel my plans; that's what happened 2 years ago because of this Covid thing.

@@guya8784 Same concerns for everyone traveling at the moment. On the plus side BA287 leaves daily and has never been cancelled. The chaos in UK airport at security seems to be back to normal now.

How long did it take you?

I always want to allow at least two hours of layover time. I have made it with one hour but a lot of running was involved!

I was going to ask that too. Can you please reply 🙋🏼🙋🏼

You do not process through passport control for a layover. But if you plan to stay in UK and exit the airport you will need.

Atlanta is big but doesn't feel like it, it's pretty much 5-6 parallel lines with the train connecting them

No! If you are transferring your luggage should go straight through to your final destination.

Really? I though it was Terminal 2.

you can tell at 8:07

@@crohunter100 just watched this video and saw that too

@@VirtCam It is Terminal 3. If you look at the video for Terminal connections, it clearly shows one of the bus stops that says Terminals 2 & 4.

I have transfer from terminal 5 to 4 next month and flight from Dublin to terminal 5 Heathrow and transfer to terminal 4.it’s easy to go and how long you spend your time hilman hapani.

@@Anxietyyyyyyyyyy it is so easy, and you don't even have to show your passport, there is just security check to check your Hand-carry and boarding pass... You'll move from T5 to T4 with bus shuttle, you just have to follow the purple line that show the way to transit, as long as you stay in transit area you will be save

@@hilmanhaq thanks because i will go with 2 kids as well and 1 only 10 month that’s why I have a little worry for 2 hour15 min transfer and then connect 1 more flight .thanks hill man again

Yes

If you're only carrying hand baggage, maybe. But it's too little time for a guaranteed connection so you're out of luck if anything goes wrong and your incoming flight is delayed. Heathrow and the airlines say at least 90 minutes between T5 and T2/3.

Not for US citizens

No

No. Metro is only between the concourses of terminal 5

There is no charge for the bus between terminals.

@@JL-st5sb thank u for ur information :)

Yes.

It's for gate B?

why r u calling him a dumb ass lol, that’s so rude

No masks were required when I was there. Just optional.

Try telling the airport! Not some random youtuber. We tend to write signs in the language used. Hence in Wales signs are written in English and Welsh. In England signs are written in English only or English and Urdu it depends what's required, its nothing to do with tribalism.
