Flying from Dallas to Houston to Amsterdam with layover at London Heathrow around noon local time

Upvote:0

The time this goes wrong is when there is even a small delay in your departure from Houston that the aircraft cannot make up in flight. The airspace around London can also get crowded and some flights are asked to circle in the holding pattern for a while. As you are arriving at LHR at around midday, I would consider switching the LHR-AMS leg to a later flight to give yourself a little more time. BA0432 leaves 1hr 45min later and arrives in Amsterdam at 17:00.

I have entered your flights into the Heathrow connection planner which says:

Time needed for this connection: 60 minutes. You have 1hr 10min available.

(I know it's BA196-BA438 because a) T5 is BA only (OK, Iberia) b) there are no other 70 minute IAH-LHR / LHR-AMS BA flight pairs)

You are cutting it close but the F ticket will help cutting it. In April I'd guess your chances are good. I'd not try it in the winter but April sounds good.

  1. Mostly no, since the LHR-AMS flight is on a narrow body (A32x) there will be only one jetbridge.
  2. Yes, provided it's all booked on one ticket.
  3. You should get all three Boarding Passes at DFW. At LHR, you will only have to be rescreened before entering Departures. Follow the signs for Connecting Flights. There is transfer desk if you do need assistance.
  4. The airline expects you to make it, otherwise they would not sell the ticket. With the F Boarding Pass, you will be first off the plane and can use priority queues.
