An immediate turnaround in BLR possible?
I have planned a mileage run which will involve me connecting onto BA118 from BA119 (the same plane). BA119 arrives at 5am, and BA118 departs at 7am. Is it possible for me to catch the plane? I have an Indian visa with lifelong validity if it makes any difference.

Would they give you your return boarding pass out of LHR itself? Else might be cutting it a bit fine as far as re-checking in for the next flight goes.
Immigration should be pretty fast at that time, considering the BA flight is the only arrival at that hour. And the departures area is walking distance from the main arrivals area..so that should be ok too..

As soon as you get off the plane, please inform the ground staff that you are returning on the same plane departing in 2 hours. They could facilitate the process, as a passenger in transit, and have you go through from arrival to departure in < 30 minutes.
