I can't go through that stress again but I like LX, have used them before and like transferring through ZRH. It's a breeze.
BA has an agreement with Mrs Chugger's airline for ID75, tix would be a little more and we'd transfer out of LHR. I've read horror stories in TS/S of immigration at LHR consisting of long lines and endless interrogation, but would we go through the same immigration if we are just connecting out of LHR for final destination of BRU?
Third option is LH, ID90, connecting out of MUC. What a great airport. Been there before. Any airport with a beerhall is okay in my book.
Any suggestions from the super frequent international flyers would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi chugger1,
On BA at T5 there is a separate flight connections centre with separate passport control for pax connecting ( you still have to go through security at T5 before the LHR-BRU leg). There can be relatively long queues at flight connections security ( they keep you from going up the escalator to security for a few minutes depending on the number of people but it is generally not too bad)
Regards
