When arriving at LHR if you have to collect bags, possibly change terminals roadside, re-check in, re-clear security that will be a real hassle!! I know eastern don't have any codeshares at the moment but does this stop you checking bags through?
Yes. Without some sort agreement with other airlines/alliances, you are buying a ticket to Heathrow with Eastern and then a ticket from Heathrow to wherever from somebody else - so will need to go through the full process again.
