I will be arriving on a Sunday morning from JNB at 06:20 and departing on a BA domestic flight at 08:50 from terminal 5. Provided there are no delays, would the experienced of you say that this would be enough time to exit, use revivals and make my flight from T5 landside? I only really want to have a shower before the day ahead so would not need much time once there.
You would have to hit BA conformance by 35 mins before departure so that eats into your 2 1/2 hours.
Heathrow website says average journey time using the HEX is 20 minutes.
Depends on how long it takes you to clear UK immigration and that time of day is when plane arrivals ramp up.
It's doable but tight.
I assume you don't have lounge access via BA as it would then be the much quicker airside transit route.
