  • Will I be able to collect bags in London without clearing passport control/customs?
  • Will 2 hours be enough time to do so and make the connecting flight?
If anyone has any different information about baggage transfers between those two airlines that contradicts what I've posted above, I certainly welcome the feedback.

Thank you!
The critical question, is it all on the same ticket?

If yes, then AA will tag your bags through.

If no, then AA won't tag your bags through. You'll have to collect your bag at T3, clear immigration and customs, and then proceed to T2 for your Austrian flight. Two hours is almost assuredly not enough time for this.
