Most authorized Airlines connections are just far too tight. Certainly not worth all the stress and then mishandled baggage when thing to fail to connect.
Sorry but this is rubbish. Even with the delay she was in time to make conformance however the queue in the transfer area to check caused her to miss conformance and being redirected and then all the hassle of not knowing about being auto rebooked etc..
If BA sells it like this, I do not presume it happens often.

Interestingly enough the luggage made it at the same time! I was pleasantly surprised.

There is a MCT for a reason - I will always book MCT to reduce overall travel time where possible - there is always another flight. And yes, it is a risk I am willing to take.

Further to this, DOM-INT at LHR T5 should be reduced to 45 minutes from the current rather ludicrous 60 minutes.
My thoughts exactly.
