Transit at LHR

Hello,

I am traveling to Dubai later this month on the VS400, however will arrive into LHR on a morning flight from CPH as I have meetings all day at Paddington.

Is there any way to go through "connecting flights" route once off the CPH flight, drop off hand luggage & have breakfast at Club House and then exit Heathrow to go to Central London? Or are you not allowed not exit terminal once trough Transit passport control?

Thanks in advance,

Jensenma

Revivals was designed just for you, from where it's steps down to the HEX to Paddington. Technically you could go through flight connections and if you have your BP gain entry to the clubhouse, but it's a complete kerfaffle to exit the terminal from there (it is possible, if you know the route).

Revivals though should have everything you need to shower, change, eat and freshen up before heading into London.

Assuming you're Au or in UC of course!

Need to have arrived on a VS flight to use revivals though I believe (jensenma is coming from CPH not CPT if that's what you may have read it as!) so if so would need to use the CH airside and get landside again, can be done but not sure quite how long it'd all take!

Oh doh speed reading catches me again! Must slow down, so CPH then and the technically bit about using the clubhouse applies.

Jensenma, here's what to do (here's also what to do if you like a smoke and your flight is delayed ): ):

- Print your VS boarding pass in advance.
- Go through flight connections and back into T3 (assuming you're arriving on SAS).
- Go to the clubhouse, eat, shower, change etc. You can enter the clubhouse at any time even if your flight is at 10 pm!
- Go back into the main part of the terminal and find the airline desks, there's a door on the back left (as you enter that room) back to flight connections, follow a line to the right and you'll go back through a security area but you pass to the right of them.
- Follow the signs to immigration and then you enter the UK!
- Go through baggage reclaim.
- Follow the exit signs and you're out.

Now, the airport still thinks you're in the terminal so when you come back to Heathrow and go through the VS upper class security your BP will give a red beep before you enter security (done this ii) ) so it's best to recheck in and explain you've been out and get a new BP. It may still beep when you get to security but if you explain the security person will mutter and moan but let you through. So, then back to the clubhouse, have a glass of champagne, and chill. Easy peasy.

Wow!!! Sheer genius

Nothing less than fantastic!
