Iberia moves to Terminal 5

British Airways has a lodger.  For the first time BA will have to share Heathrow’s Terminal 5 with sister company Iberia who are moving from Terminal 3 on Sunday 25 March.  Whilst BA is keen to promote the better facilities in the three-year-old terminal, the main benefits for passengers are that Madrid flights (and for that matter Barcelona) will all operate from one building.  With the code share system in place it was all too easy to go to the wrong part of Heathrow. 

The minimum connection time between Terminal 5 and Terminal 3, currently used by Iberia, is 90 minutes.  After the move, it will drop to 60 minutes.

Iberia and British Airways flights have been located together at Madrid Barajas Airport Terminal 4 since the facility opened in 2006.  All Iberia and British Airways flights between their two hubs will leave from the same terminals, giving passengers a much smoother and quicker transfer experience between flights. www.iberia.com
