CX at LHR should be able to do this so was wondering if it’s best to land myself at T3 or go landslide at T5 and take the HEX?

Any preferences or advice?

Thanks in advance.

I think the airside option would undoubtedly get you to T3 quicker, the buses are much more frequent than HEX and if arriving at C or B you could get the airside bus from B rather than going all the way to A. The bit I am unsure of is whether T3 immigration would be slower than T5 - hopefully someone else ca advise.l
