I have just noticed that the LAS flight leaves from T3. What is the best way to get from Sofitel to T3, will I be able to go airside in T5 and then use the usual passenger terminal bus as a connecting passenger or do I have to stay landslide and transfer to T3 that way? How long is the average T5 to T3 transfer (will be approx 1pm when we are heading in)

thanks in advance
You will not be able to go airside at T5 with a T3 boarding pass

From the sofitel I would either take the tube or heathrow express ( free) to the T2/3 and walk the underground passage way. The tube/Hex will be about 5mins plus walking and waiting time.

If in J/F or have status you can use all OW lounges in T3.
