Ever been suckered into a guaranteed missed connection by “the system” ?
You don't have to go through Immigration at LHR if transferring internationally. I agree it's tight with a terminal transfer but it's not that bad. UA offers 2 hours from international to domestic at SFO which is a joke as Immigration takes 2 hours, before you even get to the second security screen.
