Travel Time Between T5 and T2
Hello,
I am travelling from Dubai to London through British Airways (BA-108).
This flight will arrive at Terminal 5.
I have a next connecting Air Canada flight from terminal 2 exactly after 2 Hours 10 Minutes.
Is this much time between these two terminals enough for me to catch my Air Canada flight.

Well the walk from T2 to just the exit can be a long one that's for sure. Approx 15-20 mins if you are a medium-slow walker.

But I didn't get what do you mean by walk from T2 to just the exit. I have never been to Heathrow Airport.
From the airport website I found this information : 90 Minutes time

Yes it is enough time assuming your inbound flight is on time. As you are on one ticket if the inbound is delayed such that you miss your connection you will be re-accommodated.
Just follow the 'Flight Connections' signs for T2 on arrival, don't follow the arrivals signs. You will get an airside bus from T5 to T2.

If it's on one ticket, then it should be fine. BA should interline your bags to AC, so you can do an airside transfer. Your link on the Heathrow website is correct - you follow 'flight connections' at T5, take a bus to T3, go through security, and that's you.
That fact that you're on one ticket means that AC will reaccommodate you if misconnect (probably via YUL or YYZ) due to either flight or security delays.
Personally, I'd happily book this.

Out of interest, who are you flying with from Delhi to Dubai?
(I'm just thinking that you may have to re-check your luggage at Dubai, given some of the carriers that fly on that route - even Air India can be annoying about interlining luggage... Of course, you may have a stopover there, I've no idea!)

OK. Air India can be rather annoying about not interlining luggage, so I'd be prepared to check it back in at Dubai. If you're planning on leaving the airport, this may involve using a left luggage service, as I imagine BA have a maximum check-in time of a few hours.

You might also try the relevant destination and airline forums, but you'll have to wade through a lot of posts on other topics to find the useful (to you, in this context) content.

Hi D0Do,
There is an "India-Based Airlines" forum, which you can search for 'interline' and 'air india', and should give you more information - or you can start a new thread if you can't find it.
Here is a recent thread I started on AI interlining (although this was domestic-to-international at DEL):

I have read your experience stut and have called Air India twice to confirm that they do not do the same with me as well. I hope it does not happen to me. Will share my experience for sure
