Victoria Station, Heathrow BA check-in?
 

Can anyone tell me if BA offers luggage check-in at Victoria Station for
flights departing from Heathrow? I have heard that they offer this
service for Gatwick but am not sure if the same is true for Heathrow.

Victoria Station, Heathrow BA check-in?
 

Forgot to ask a related question.

What is the easiest way to get from Heathrow to Victoria Station and
Vis-Versa? If I take the Piccadilly line from Heathrow I'll need to
transfer to the District line. Which station is the best to do that
considering I'll have some luggage?

I'll be leaving London/Heathrow on a sunday at around 1pm from terminal
4. How long should I plan for travel time from Victoria, check-in,
customs (international flight) etc.?

Barons Court. It's fairly quiet and all you have to do is cross the
platform.

I doubt it. Checked in luggage would go down from Victoria on the Gatwick
Express trains. According to the BA web site check-in at Paddington (the
departure station for the Heathrow Express) has been discontinued.

No chance. It's only offered at Victoria because of the direct Gatwick
Express train service.

They don't (and wouldn't, as the Victoria check-in for Gatwick is part
of the Gatwick Express service). Some airlines offer check-in at
Paddington for Heathrow if you use Heathrow Express but not BA at
present.

In answer to your other question, change from District to Piccadilly
at either Barons Court or Hammersmith.

And make sure you get on either an Ealing Broadway or Richmond train at
Victoria or you'll be changing at Earls Court too.

Victoria Station has never offered check-in for Heathrow.

Victoria used to offer check-in for Gatwick, but that closed down
around two years ago.

Nobody's answered this bit yet. I suggest you aim to leave at 10am,
so you allow roughly an hour for the tube ride to the airport and 2
hours for check-in etc.

Does the tube stop first at Heathrow's Terminal 4? Or do I have to
transfer to another tube from Terminal 1,2 or 3 across to Terminal 4?
