British Airways LHR Terminal Info
If you’re checking in for your flight or just trying to get around London Heathrow Airport it can be quite stressful. If you are flying with British Airways the check-in kiosks, check-in desks and general check-in procedures are located in Terminal 5 (with some special cases in Terminal 3).
Although there are many self check-in desks within Terminal 5, the main bag drop areas often get very busy during peak times (between 6.30am – 9.30am and 4pm – 8pm). It is advised to do your online check-in 3-4 hours before departure. If you have any delays, tight connections or missed flights you may have issues waiting in line at the desks.
