LHR->BRU is cash booking. 2 hours should be enough but the minimum connection time of 90 minutes on the BA website seems to not consider the hassle of re-checking/security etc. Gold/Silver status should help with less waits but still pretty nervous about that.
I just called the support line and they are still quoting the 90 minute figure, this has surely got to go up? He also mentioned that I should still tell them I am connecting and they'll try and do it (didn't receive the memo?). I am also travelling with my American girlfriend so immigration lines are often longer for her. Ugh - not ideal when you're starting a vacation!
I would try to move the BRU flight. 2 hours is barely enough for T5-to-T5 on separate tickets at this point (and even that is stretching it). T3-to-T5 I'd say is very very risky in 2 hours now. MCT is meant to be for the minimum when you don't need to re-check luggage or exit landside (connecting on same ticket).
