BA at Terminal 3 in September 2020?
My son has just made a LHR-MRS return booking. Outbound BA0366 in late August return BA0371 in early September. The outbound flight is shown as leaving from T5 but the inbound is shown as arriving at T3. Are BA repoening at T3 or is this a mistake in the booking - he has parking booked at T5?
Many thanks.
Many thanks.

I just think they haven't formally changed flights across to T5 yet for September onwards. I think it is very unlikely T3 will be open by September.

My Pisa - LHR on Saturday 05 Sep is indicating a T3 arrival. I fully expect it to be T5, the same as the outbound on 29 Aug.

T3 certainly won't be back in September, they have removed too much equipment that even if they decided today they would resume services there, it would take months for the place to reopen. My half educated guess is no T3 until way into 2021, HAL are more likely to transfer gates from T3 to T2 if necessary.

The Sofia terminal switch must be part of the standard Winter schedule reshuffle. At the moment you have to assume your flight is now departing from T3. It will only be in early October that I imagine BA will switch it to T5 if Heathrow keep T3 closed.
BA obviously expect to return to T3 though with some destinations, otherwise why would they switch destinations between terminals for the coming season.
