Archived from groups: rec>travel>africa (more info?)
The next wednesday i flight to Zambia.

I land at Heathrow (from Italy) at 15.50pm and take off at 19:15pm (British
Airways). I have to transfer from Terminal 1 to Terminal 4 and i'm a bit
worried about my luggages.. (i heard bad stories about Heathrow and lost
luggages in flights connection).

What could be better?

1) Collect my luggages in Heathrow, transport them from Terminal 1 to
Terminal 4, recheck-in and board (is there enough time?).

2) Send the luggages directly to Lusaka (final destination)

Thanks

P.S.: sorry for my poor english...

I would agree with Liz, check your baggage right through from your home
airport to Zambia, like Liz we have always had to transfer from
Terminal One to either Four or Three and over a thirty year period have
never lost a bag! Perhaps we were lucky! Enjoy your visit to Zambia.
Pat.

Just to confirm: Are you absolutely sure that your flight is from
Heathrow DIRECTLY to Lusaka?

It is possible that you will be flying to Lusaka via Johannesburg. If
that's the case, and you have enough time, then you should definitely
check your luggage to Johannesburg, collect it there, and then check
in to the Zambian flight.

Regards,
Marc

Yes.
Direct from LHR to LUN.
It's the only flight that connects directly London and Lusaka.

Good... just checking Smile

Johannesburg is renowned as an airport where baggage gets tampered
with regularly. Sad

Cheers,
Marc
