So, it appears it will not affect British Airways flights at Terminal 5, correct?

I was planning on flying carryon only for my trip next week, but this just confirms it as we will be returning through Heathrow on the 16th............

That's correct Lola. The strike is against a private company that operates from T2,3 & 4. Not T5.
