I am going on the New England and Canada holiday departing October 1st. I am flying down from Manchester into Terminal 5 at Heathrow and have to get to Terminal 3 for the flight to New York.

2 questions. Will my luggage be checked in for the full journey or will I have to check in again at Heathrow which means I will have to retrieve my luggage at T5?

Also- how do I get from terminal 5 to terminal 3? Previously I have gone to Heathrow by coach and it is easy to get to T3 from the Central bus station.

tour Ref is SNC Booking Ref is A216695

Thank you

Lynn

Hello Lynn, your luggage will not be checked in all the way through in this instance, you wil be travelleing down with BA on a separate ticket, so you will have to pick up your lugage and re-check-in at Terminal 3. You can do this at the Virgin desk.

Thank you Sally-Anne. I suspected this but thought I would ask. I should have waiting to book till next year as I see there are direct flights then from Manchester. Never mind - I just don't have any patience.
