Hi Everyone,
My husband and I will be flying from the U.S. to London Heathrow on our way to Inverness in October 2023. Our short layover turned into a long 8 hour layover when British Airways changed our flight times. As a result, we've decided to leave the airport to see Windsor Castle and have lunch. We'll be flying into Terminal 5 and out of Terminal 5 and we'll only have carry-on luggage.
I've found a place across the river from the castle through NannyBag where we can leave our bags for a small fee. On second thought, I'm thinking it might be easier to leave our bags at the airport and not have to take them with us for the day. London Heathrow has a baggage storage service through the Excess Baggage Company. Has anyone used this service? Will there be any issues involving customs and our luggage? I'm assuming if we drop it off in Terminal 5 and pick it back up in Terminal 5, that this would be preferable to leaving the airport and having to go through security with it on the way back in. It seemed that there were lots of baggage storage locations within the airport. I'm a little worried about selecting the wrong one and not having easy access when picking up our bags to continue to Inverness.
We've never left baggage before, so I'm not sure if I've asked enough questions or thought about all possible issues.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Lisa
