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

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from Rome to Heathrow 
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysAug 2026
Use BA, get there early to ensure time for check in and security. Be kind! Everyone is there doing their best and happy to help.
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysSep 2024
Pack your liquids and toiletries in plastic bags and be prepared to pull it all out. London Heathrow airport still does this, and makes you rescan through security between connecting flights even though you never leave their airport. If you think 2 hours between flights (time chosen by them not us) is enough, it’s barely enough if they fly into one terminal and depart connecting from another, so don’t plan to eat or drink anything in Heathrow.
