I really hope you are right. My personal LAX-LHR on Thurs still has T3 arrival in LHR. I hope it's just not been corrected yet.

As far as I am aware, the move is still scheduled to go ahead on Tuesday.

Honestly, I don’t know what to believe any more, which is why the airport should make a formal announcement. I’m connecting BA to AA on Wednesday and will report what transpires on the day.

So this is why my flights have disappeared from MMB. The connection from MIA to MAN no longer works at LHR, as with a retime and terminal change it leaves us with 1 hour 20.
Does this open up options to us to rebook onto BA metal at no additional cost? We don't fancy a 6 hour wait in LHR for a later MAN flight!

I thought I'd report back on our BA to AA, T5 to T3 transfer today. It all went pretty smoothly in the end, all things considered. The bus transfer could have been more efficient, with less of a wait, but we were in the T3 lounge about 50 minutes after landing at T5. The bags all made it as well. As reported in the lounge thread, there is only the BA lounge in T3, which had pretty sparse offerings.

AA has one check area at the North end, but ExPlats and First travellers can use the First Wing, ditto other oneworld Emeralds. AA have a few desks on the left side bank of the First Wing check-in.

Follow the purple signs in T5 to Flight Connections T2/3/4. There is a pick up point in T5A an T5B. No security or checks in T5 itself. There are queues depending on which terminal you are heading to.
When you get to T3 you go upstairs and follow the signs, there is a bp check and then security in T3 before you can go in to the airside departures area.
More details in the T5 connection guide linked to in my signature and the sticky threads.
