Immigration Question
Hello:
My wife and I are flying to Barcelona this October and we have a few questions.
Are trip leaves Charlotte, NC (CLT) - London (LHR) - Barcelona (BCN)
We arrive in London in Terminal 3 & our flight out to Barcelona leaves the same terminal 3.
Do we go through customs / immigration in London & Barcelona? Any keys to getting through quicker?
We've got 1:30 until our flight leaves LHR - BCN. Just trying to figure this out.
We are flying first class, so we should be one of the first ones off the plane if this helps.

When you land in London, you will follow the Purple Signs for flight connections (it will be a long walk). You will then clear security.
Once through security you will be in the departures lounge for T3. You may have time to go to a lounge (you can use either the AA or BA lounge, I don't know when the CX lounge reopens), depending on how much time it takes you to clear security.
Pay attention to the departure boards as they will show your gate number when it is assigned (typically no more than an hour before the flight) and when it is time to go to the gate.
