    connecting flights - heathrow
    Hi everyone!

    So on wednesday i'm flying solo Newcastle - Heathrow and then Heathrow to Newark with BA. I bought all one ticket so my bags get transferred onto the next flight I think. I know both my flights are in terminal 5 I was just wondering how hard it is to navigate round? This is the part of my holiday im super worried of! and I have exactly 2 hours from landing to take off from the next plane. Is this enough time? Thanks for your help!

    Plenty, it's pretty obvious - just find a screen to see which gate you have to go to for your next flight. As to terminal 5 - I've no idea, never been.

    T5 is easy, and 2 hours is adequate time. They wouldn't have sold you the ticket if you couldn't make the connection. You'll almost certainly have extra security at T5 for a US flight, which can take a fair amount of time, so don't mess around. Head straight for your Newark flight's gate
