Transfer
MUFC,
Providing your bags are tagged straight through there should be no reason to check in again. Follow the Flight Connections signs and use the connections desk. You will then use the airside transfer bus between terminals.

Has/will snow close LHR? wednesday 6th jan
Hi
I have just landed at Oslo, minus 21, with snow and ice everywhere airside, as it has been for the last five weeks at least. I am trying to get out of here on the first BA flight tom Morning to see the wife and kid for a few days. Seeing the forecast (and knowing the UK) It does not seem too likely! Could anyone give an update as to the conditions at LHR please?
Many thanks

Flyingbus - just done a quick check and Heathrow is currently operating ok, but with delays ranging from 30 mins to a few hours. That said, this evening's Stockholm flight has an eta that is a few minutes early.
I live in Camberley, not too far from LHR and although it is currently snowing, it is little more than a a light flurry at the moment. I lived in Sweden for a couple of years and in Central Europe for four. This is not snow as they, or you would know it.
Good luck and safe travels.

Those health & Stupidity departments must be creaming themselves at the thought of all those risk assessments that they will have to do tom!

My base is Farnborough airfield and that has been operating ok for most of the day. Snow now stopped on the Surrey/Hampshire border.
That said, if you watch local and even national news bulletins, they are predicting we will all be at a standstill for the rest of the week. Collegue popped to local supermarket at lunchtime today and reported that it was like we were expecting a long war and/or food rationing to start.
Those of us who have lived and worked in countries where it really does snow, can only smile at the chaos which reigns here at times.
Cheers,

MUFC fan
I thought Manchester were down for either Air China or Hainan in 2010.

CO are obviously VERY pleased with their LHR operations! I think their development epitomises to anyone wondering why BA won't send the A380s to NYC - the route is very much frequency orientated.
On another note, and a question that most will find stupid, but what exactly is it that makes LHR Mecca for airlines? It can't be increased revenue can it? As all flights I have looked for out of London have shown very similar fares from LHR as from LGW etc. Is it mainly down to connections?
Thanks!

-having Slots at LHR > 5 daily but 4 daily with B757 (3 daily with B767 or B777 should be enough)
CO has 5 daily slots and will use them. Maybe some years later CO will use this 5 daily slots with B777.
-NY-LON > should be high yield cause of the biggest banking places in the world
-CO > Star Alliance > connections with BD, LH... (FRA, MUC..gets new flights/capacity and on the other hand frequenies/capacity to CDG, AMS..will be reduced)
Look at AMS and the amount of flight to DTW or MSP (just to name two) and compare the flights from LHR, FRA or MAD to DTW or MSP. It's all about hub to hub.
