Flights from Budapest to Heathrow: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Budapest to Heathrow 
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Jun 2024
Leave enough time for transfer! Especially when changing from T3 to T5. Heathrow is gigantic
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Aug 2024
Everything was fine regarding the actual flying. The only thing that was annoying is the quite long line and wait time at the check-in. BA policy is good and somewhat better than some other airlines ridiculously strict and limiting baggage rules. Heathrow is a giant airport, so those who are connecting should know that it takes a long time (almost 2 hours) to change terminals. There are lots of passengers, the shuttles are packed to the gill, and the buildings are huge, so long walking is necessary. Although the security is going pretty fast, there is no time to look around, so as long as people are aware of it, it is fine. I think one of the best and most passenger-friendly airport in Europe is Schiphol in Amsterdam.
MarinaFlew with British Airways-Jun 2024
Heathrow airport is very inefficient and complicated to get around. You need at least an hour and 20 minutes between your flights to make any connection in time. I don’t think I’ll ever do any connections there in the future. Flying into it is fine if that is your final destination.
CindyFlew with British Airways-Jun 2024
Ensure you’re in the right queue. We asked three different airport staff and were told to join the wrong queue
