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.?

It's fairly quiet and all you have to do is cross the platform. -- message by Robin May, but you can call me Mr Smith. Enjoy the Routemaster while you still can. "Handlebar catch and nipple." |

I have heard that they offer this service for Gatwick but am not sure if the same is true for Heathrow. 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. -- Phil Richards London, N4 |

It's only offered at Victoria because of the direct Gatwick Express train service. -- Colin Rosenstiel |

I have heard that they offer this service for Gatwick but am not sure if the same is true for Heathrow. 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. Martin |

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. Martin |

Or do I have to transfer to another tube from Terminal 1,2 or 3 across to Terminal 4? |
