Question bag drop @ LHR - not possible 3 hours prior to flight ?
hi there,

i arrived from the rolleyes-do at around 14:00 in LHR. my next flight is LH 4763 to MUC departing at 20:10. i went from T5 to T2 and wanted to drop my bags and go to the city for a couple of hours.
BUT i wasnot allowed to drop my bags. they said only 3 hours prior to departure they accept bags, because otherwise they could mix up bags for their flights to MUC. i can't quite believe this explanation since i could have checked my bags through from SFO and i would have been fine...
is this a normal procedure on all LH stations or is this a LHR specific one - i just want to avoid these kind of situations in the future?

cheers from LHR
CHris
