Not familiar with connecting through LHR so any advice is welcome ... Iberia flight lands at 8:20am, connecting flight on AA leaves at 9:30am ... looks like both Iberia and AA are in Terminal 3 so no worries about having to change terminals ... only have carryon bags and looks like I can use the ePassport gates ... if all flights are on time, is 1 hr 10 min enough time? ... thanks.

Fill in you flight information and get step by step instructions.
If your flight into and out of LHR are from outside the UK, you will not have to go through immigration.

If the flights are on one ticket, you will stay airside and you do not go through passport check. You will, however, go through security again, unless your incoming Iberia flight originated at a UK airport.
Basically, you just follow the purple “ flight connections” signs.

60 minutes is the minimum "legal" time for an international - international connection in T3 so you have a little over this, but the distances to & from gates can be large.

One way to reduce your anxiety is to, right now, go online and see what gates were used at what times, YESTERDAY. Do that again in the days before your departure for LHR. You can look at a map of the gates, as well.

Coming from Madrid and going to DFW so looks like I'm good here

I'm a non-rev so I don't have confirmed tickets, just standby

Did that the past several days ... couldn't find the gates the IB flight came into and the AA flight departed from 3 different gates ... I found a terminal 3 map ... I'll keep looking

My theory on connections is the amount of time between flights is inversely proportional to the distance between the gates
