Hello,
So, I am going to Germany in a few weeks and am transiting LHR T5 on the way. I arrive on a BA flight at 0450 and depart to FRA on another BA flight at 1345 same day - hopefully bags will be checked through.
With the long connection time, is it worth/possible to leave the airport and get a train into London to kill a few hours? Not sure what the customs/immigration requirements are in the UK, and whether you can leave the airport on a transit stop? I have a UK passport if that is any help?
If it is possible, what is the best train to catch in and out? I beleive the Heathrow express is the quickest option, but when I was there last, it doesnt operate early morning??
Thanks for your help
