Will he have to get his bags in LHR and recheck them or are they automatically transferred through? Also, seems like enough time to go into London? Thoughts and easiest way to get into London from the airport? I assume he should be back at LHR 2 hours before his flight leaves to get to his gate for the flight to Baku? Any other thoiughts would be appreciated. FYI....he is platinum on Delta and flies internationally frequently so pretty good at getting around/public transportation.
