Min Intl UA -> Intl UA Connection Time?

In my [last-minute] effort to ensure I requalify for 1P this year (yes, I pale in comparison to most on this board ), I am planning on doing a west coast-LHR turn.

Right now I have an itinerary on hold arriving LHR from ORD on UA at 11:25am and departing for SFO on UA at 1:20pm.

I will not be checking any bags. Will this be enough time to make the flight? Looks like I'll be sitting in Y [E+].

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't make it clear in the title--this is for LHR.

That's more than enough time. You will just have to reclear security. You should even have enough time to do the lounge hop (LL, SKL, and RCC).

Had a feeling you would be the first response.

Do any of those lounges have shower facilities available to *G?

Yep, all three of them do, although the RCC often has lines. Let me dig up my post reviewing the three, which have all the details.

2 hours should be enough even in LHR.

But why did you pick LHR anyways?? It is miserable with the security they have and walking long distances etc. There are easier airports in Europe to pick from.

Fares mostly--I'm pretty good at walking. Between now and the end of the year, FRA looked pretty expensive. Have you had luck with other cities in Europe?
