In case you have not done a T5 DOM-INT connection before, when you arrive at T5 there is just a bp check and you are up the escalator and straight in to the departure area. There is no security check at T5 when arrivng on a domestic flight. From stepping off the aircraft this process takes all of 5 minutes if that.
Hello KARFA,
My Flight is International to a domestic flight (XXX-LHR-LBA).
Not a domestic to International.

My concern wasn't that my inbound flight may be late.
Rather it's the fact that there is only 1 flight to LBA that day after I land and that if it was cancelled due to winter bad weather that I would be screwed!

Thanks for taking the time to explain the connection process^
