MUC-MAN via LHR - connection? Abandon MAN-LHR segment?
Hello,
I don't have much experience of flying - especially of making connections between flights - and I've never been to LHR before.
I'd be grateful for any advice people could offer about a trip I have planned in the near future. Sorry the questions are no doubt completely idiotic:
I have a flight booked from MUC-MAN via LHR, with a connection - Lufthansa flight from MUC arrives at T2 at 1410, BMI flight to MAN departs T1 at 1700.
Is that a short/reasonable/ridiculously long time for the connection?
Will I have to clear security again at LHR?
Will/might I have to collect my checked baggage at LHR and re-check it on to the flight to MAN?
I'm especially interested in the latter because I'm considering not making the flight to MAN, but staying in London instead. This would be easier if I know I'll be able to retrieve my bag at LHR. If it's going to be hassle then I'll think about whether I could get away with just a carry-on.
Might I get in to any kind of trouble with the airline for not taking my LHR-MAN flight?
Thanks in advance for any help.
