T3/T5 connection - two bookings
 
Have had to change some plans to head to a memorial service in the US on the back of a work trip. So unfortunately my Friday looks like the early flight Bilbao to LHR T3, with a 2.5 hours to transfer and a flight to the US from T5.

I am planning on travelling HBO but thought I’d check for the latest wisdom here. Is there any chance if I check a case in Bilbao they will transfer it to the long haul at LHR? I’m assumimg that there is not enough time to go landslide and recheck at LHR so had ruled that out. any thoughts welcome!

Sorry for your bereavement. And no, typically, they will say no. You can always ask and there is always of course "a chance" through checking will be allowed but the default answer is no, by far the highest probability is no, and that is unfortunately what you should assume.

OK Thanks orbitmic. I'll assume that and plan on HBO.

Sorry to hear of the circumstances necessitating your change of plans. These are the kinds of changes that make this policy ridiculous. Sorry, but if you fly with BA, you should be prepared for them to refuse through checking over multiple tickets. Even BA to BA.

It’s highly likely, in your case, that it’s have been cheaper to start the long haul in BIO and abandon the return leg of the work trip. Is that an option?
