AFAIK:
1. If the flights are not on the same PNR then no.
2. You'll land in T5 and then have to transfer terminal. 3.5 hours should be fine. I'd also be comfortable with 2.5 hours.
3. If you take the Eurostar to St Pancras you'll then have a 60 minute journey on the tube to LHR. Depending on time of day, I'd probably prefer to fly to LHR.

We are thinking of flying BA CDG-LHR and then to board our Air New Zealand flight from LHR to Hong Kong 3 hours later. The reason why we are thinking of flying between CDG-LHR and not using Eurostar is to save time and effort going from train station (St Pancreas) to LHR and hope we can just change terminals in LHR. I hope someone can help us with some questions:
1. - Can we through check our luggage at CDG on BA flight to LHR so that we we do not have to check in luggage again for Air New Zealand LHR-HKG?
2. - If the answer to 1 above is no, it seems that we have to build in perhaps 3.5 hours between the two flights, is that right?
3. - further to 2 above, perhaps there is no point in flying CDG-LHR and we might as well take Eurostar to St Pancreas?
Many thansk in advance.
