Thanks for watching 👍 feel free to leave your comments and likes to support this video 👍 📹 much appreciated 👍 If you're going through border control (Visitor in Transit visa) You might need a Visitor in Transit visa if you’re: changing flights in the UK on your way to another country; going through UK border control, for example to check in your luggage for a connecting flight; leaving the UK within 48 hours; not working or studying while in the UK more info here: www.gov.uk/transit-visa
As a note, this transfer is for people who are in the public spaces outside the passenger area. If you have a connecting flight you would normally follow the Flight Connections signs on arrival and take the transfer bus, rather than going through the Arrivals channel and leaving the terminal.
@@joshuanesbit Yes. If you arrive at Heathrow for a connecting flight, then when you get off the plane you will follow the signs for "Flight Connections" (purple signs). If your connecting flight leaves from a different terminal you will directed to a transfer bus to take you to that terminal. You will have to go through a security check on the way.
@@ib9rt okay thank you - hypothetically what would happen if you arrive from say ediburgh on a domestic arrival is it still possible to go through to connections or will you end up landside?
@@joshuanesbit I don't know, I have not done that. You should probably ask your airline. At the end of the day, when you arrive at Heathrow you can either follow signs or ask an agent for help. They are not going to leave you guessing.
Very nice and simple to understand video. I think you are just showing how to transfer from T5 via free train to T2-T3. If you booked 2 separate tickets and 2 different airlines, then you have to go to immigration, baggage claim, customs if anything to declare, follow this transfer, go check in either T2 or T3. If you are not sure, always ask help at the first check in. If you have same tickets then your luggage will be forwarded to final destination(always tell the agent at check in of your final destination). You just follow flight connections either to T2-T3 and not this procedure.
@@tonyo7324 I had two different tickets in June transiting Heathrow. I definitely did not go through immigration but I only had carry on luggage. If I had checked bags, I would have had to enter the UK officially.
Navigating through London on my way to Sydney has been quite an adventure. A heartfelt thank you for the invaluable assistance! The entire journey has been quite stressful, and when I learned that I needed to take a train to catch my connecting flight, it added an extra layer of chaos. Your Express Parking suggestion made a world of difference. Hoping my perspective can be of help to others facing a similar situation. Thanks a ton! 😃
I have been in Heathrow airport two times in the last 6 months I didn’t know it had a train! both times got transferred from T5 to T3 buy bus and if you wanna enter the UK just follow the yellow signs if you have a connecting flight follow the purple signs
I transit trough London to her to Sydney, Big thanks, really. This is so stressfull so when i heard i had to take a train just to get to my next flight i was even more a mess. Hope this POV help to ease the burden ty 😃
thanks! that's exactly what I am going to do next month. So, upon exiting arrival from T5, how long did it take to get to T2 check-in counter? Also, how often does the train run?
I’m arriving in T5 with BA from Canada, but need to meet a group arriving in T2. Once I collect my luggage, I can take this train to T2, but then I can go to arrivals at T2 right. Approx takes 15 mins right
Are we required to get a (free) ticket, or can we just scan our bank ATM cards at each end? Also, noting that was the Elizabeth Line, can we also use the Heathrow Express (just to T2)? And do they run from the same/adjacent platforms?
HI Rambler. Such a useful video. Just need a clarification. Does this change of terminals happens only if you have a residence or transit visa? I'm having only a schengen tourist visa to go to Luxembourg via LHR. Any idea?
@@EURAMBLER Thank you VERY much. Travelling on my own and with not much mobility with three pieces of luggage, I need to administer my time. Regards from Mexico.
But, google says "Please note that you must apply for a transit visa before you leave for your flight- you cannot receive a transit visa at the airport." unless if you're holding UK Passport, you can go straight through transit via Trains without any issues. For foreigners (outside UK National/Residential) you'll need an visitor visa (48h version) as i've read from gov.uk.
I'm arriving at Terminal 5 and my sister is arriving at Terminal 2. We are taking the Heathrow Express. I will take the free shuttle train to Terminal 2. Q1. Approx how long will it take to claim my luggage, clear customs and take the shuttle train over to T2..??? Q2. Where is the best place to meet my sister after arriving at T2 (after disembarking from the free train shuttle)..??? TIA :-}
@@EURAMBLERWait a minute, they check ticket before boarding, when valid I board train and then if I go ahead to Paddington when they checking my ticket then I may be fined or they make me to return Heathrow? xD Sorry, just for curiosity.

Does this apply to all terminals

London Heathrow Airport is a huge. 5 Terminals

Thanks for your comment 👍 There are 5 terminals in London Heathrow Airport. Also you can take a subway I think but this train is a free
Very helpful!!! Thanks very much.

Class video my friend 😊😊
thanks 👌
Great explanation.
Uauuu... Best video, thank you!
Love the video so much ❤❤❤❤
You are so kind
very helpful, thanks
thanks for watching
Nice to know about free ticket
Cool 😎
thanks 👌
thanks! that's exactly what I am going to do next month. So, upon exiting arrival from T5, how long did it take to get to T2 check-in counter? Also, how often does the train run?
hey, it took me around 25mins, I believe they are often alright 👍
Trains run every 10-15 mins by Heathrow Express or Elizabeth Line. If you go by Piccadilly Line, it is every 10 mins
@Jack Jack Productions good stuff mate 👍
I’m arriving in T5 with BA from Canada, but need to meet a group arriving in T2. Once I collect my luggage, I can take this train to T2, but then I can go to arrivals at T2 right. Approx takes 15 mins right
yes, correct, make sure to take a free ticket from the machine
Nice footage. Permission to use part of this in an upcoming video? (You will be fully credited)
Go ahead! Many thanks
enjoyed
cheers
From T5 to T2 - is it better to take London Underground services or use Elizabeth (this) train?
train as it is free
Good tour
thanks
I have to get a transfer from terminal 2/3 to terminal 5 tomorrow. Are the shuttles frequent and fairly easy to locate? Thanks in advance
yes they are frequent, every 10min
Hey,
Do we to cross UK border control, in case of (T5-T3) transit.
in transit should be no, I believe
❤
Elizabeth Line Class 345
thanks
Are we required to get a (free) ticket, or can we just scan our bank ATM cards at each end?
Also, noting that was the Elizabeth Line, can we also use the Heathrow Express (just to T2)?
And do they run from the same/adjacent platforms?
yes you would need to get a free ticket 🎟 from a machine
You dont need a ticket. Tap your bank card or oyster card and they wont get charged if you're just moving between terminals
Great! video EU!!👍🙂
thanks 👌
@@EURAMBLER You're welcome 👍

Hi Muhsin, this needs to be clarify with Heather Airport website, they have some info. Thanks
@@EURAMBLER Thanks Man.
This is great video. Do you know Is there any bus available to Coventry in Terminal 2? If yes, do you know the bus number? Thank you very much.
Not that I know of
Hi! I’ll be coming from Heathrow T5 rail station! Can I take this transit as well? Thank you!
hello there, yes it operates between T5 T2 T3
Hi! Do I need a transit visa if I am transiting from terminal 3 to 5?
I don't think so but try to google it
Please, one question. Do all trains that depart from Terminal 5 stop at Terminals 2and3 ? Thank you in advance.
Yes they do
@@EURAMBLER Thank you VERY much. Travelling on my own and with not much mobility with three pieces of luggage, I need to administer my time. Regards from Mexico.
If we are going from Terminal 5 to 2 for a connection, we don't need to collect our luggage and check it again, right?
for connecting usually you don't need to collect your luggage but please check on Heathrow Airport website
What if i have large luggage bag that dont passes that train rail guards can i pass it over and transfer?
What luggage size is suitable 2:57
any luggage can be taken inside( normal size) 😎
@@EURAMBLER I have that Indian brand safari 75cm luggage bag will it pass through
@Sunny-nx5sg yeah that should be OK 👍
Does one need a transit visa for uk, for terminal 5 to terminal 3 ?? For a connecting flight ??
you might need one www.gov.uk/transit-visa
Hi. I´ve aquestion, Is the same trasnfer from terminal 2 to terminal 5? how much time for this transfer??
around 20 to 30 mins
@@EURAMBLERis it total time, including walk + train + to reach gate of the flight?

I don't think so but please double check on Heathrow Airport website
Do we need a transit visa If I am changing the terminal. I have an Indian passport and living in canada
you will need to check London Heathrow Airport website for the latest information
I have connecting flights and i have to change terminal 5 - 3 and i only have 1.5 hr layover in between so is it enough?

Hello, can you answer these questions for me if you've already gone through it?
Wow, what if you proceed to Paddington since you got a free transfer? xD
you can't as they will check your ticket 😲😕
