Similar situation as OP but I'd thought I'd add to this thread rather making a whole new one.
Lately I've been having bad luck getting my bags delayed.
So we arrive on UA 934 from LAX arriving at 12:15pm
Connecting to UA 9609 leaving at 1:40pm for Lisbon
I looked up on the LHR website, it's terminal 1 to terminal 1. MCT is 60min.
So from experience of you folks here. With the 1:20 connection time, will my bags make. T1 to T1.
I looked up future flights and there are two more flights from LHR to LIS after mine by TAP Portugal. So I guess worse case, I'll be waiting in LIS for the next flight to bring my bags.
We're going on a cruise the next day and this was the best I could do while sticking is *A.
Thanks
