Is it possible these days to arrive midweek in LHR at 6:55AM on UAL, and catch a 9:10AM on BA? That's a fast walk from terminal 3 to 1, any thoughts? Thanks for your input. </font>
are you in Biz or First for FastTrack arrivals? if so then you would have plenty of time even if your luggage isn't through-checked. In that case, allow 10-15 minutes to walk from the far gates to immigration, a few minutes for clearing, a few for bags, then another 15 minutes to saunter to T1. That should leave an hour to check in and clear security at T1. If you're in coach and the immigration lines are long it could spell trouble.

if you can check luggage through, you will also have the option of staying airside and taking the bus. the transfer desk lines can be bearable or ludicrous-- make a judgment call when you arrive...
