I spoke to AA, who then referred me to US and after raising my concerns regarding the time available to change terminals/immigration etc weren't particularly helpful and basically stated that there is enough time to do it- they didn't seem bothered if the incoming flight was delayed or if immigration took a while,to do either.

I asked if it was possible to change from a 12.10pm flight to the 2pm flight and was told that I would have to go through whoever issued the tickets (Expedia in this case). I also asked what would happen if I missed the flight and whether we would be put on the next flight. He wouldn't guarantee it and said we would probably have to buy new flights..

So, on to Expedia ....

They were also adamant that 1 hour 45 minutes is sufficient to change and after checking said the minimum was 1.20..

Again I asked what happens if we miss the connection and he wouldn't say that we would get books on the next flight and we would probably have to claim on our travel insurance.

So,for peace of mind I asked what the cost would be to move to the 2pm flight, cost will be £550!

So, my wife's pushing me to pay it for the peace of mind, knowing that we won't be panicking as soon as we are delayed for 5 minutes at LHR.

I would add I am BA Silver so should get priority baggage, and although this will be our 2nd trip on our current ESTA, our daughter will be on her first...
