London Heathrow has five airport terminals, and Virgin Atlantic arrive and depart from Terminal 3. To help you make your connection, here are some important things to keep in mind:
- Minimum connection times: allow at least 60 minutes for connections within the same terminal, and at least 90 minutes for connections that require travel between terminals. You'll need to allow extra time if you need to collect your bags and go through security
- After landing follow the purple ‘flight connections’ signs to the transfer area and check the screens for Departure Gate information
- If your connecting flight is with Virgin Atlantic, visit the Terminal 3 transfer area and see one of our team to verify your documentation for your connecting flight
- If your connecting flight leaves from a different terminal, simply follow the purple ‘flight connections’ signs and take a free flight connections bus that will transfer you between terminals
