London Heathrow advise longer check-in times

BAA has advised passengers flying from Heathrow to allow extra time when checking in.

There are extra security measures and bag searched in place that will increase the time it takes to get from Check –in to the departures lounge.

The advised times are as follows

“You are advised to check in as early as possible. As a general guide, you should aim to arrive:

  • Long-haul and El Al: three hours before scheduled departure
  • European flights: two hours before scheduled departure
  • UK and Ireland flights: 90 minutes before scheduled departure*

* please note, due to the recent change in security, passengers may wish to allow an additional 30 minutes for domestic flights.”
