Two of us arrived in Amsterdam after a not so
positive adventure transferring from American Airlines to British Airlines through
Heathrow. Although the airlines tell you that you can make your flight if you
have at least 90 minutes, this is not actually the case during high season. We
did make our plane, but our luggage did not. It showed up at our hotel a few
hours later, in good repair, so we were able to continue our adventures on a
more positive note. The lesson from this, plan for a two, or better yet, three
hour lay-over in Heathrow rather than sprinting through the airport and sweating
through internal security that does nothing in a hurry. You’ll arrive at your
destination a bit later, but without the anxiety of trying to make a connection
that could depend on the whim of a security person, bus driver, or gate clerk.
