Hello, we are American citizens flying BA from Seattle to Dublin with a layover at Heathrow. Do we go through Immigration at Heathrow, or just at our final destination. Are bags checked through to Dublin?
Thank you and thank you for your great guide books and shows and your support of Public Television.

Bags will be checked through to Dublin. You will go through immigration in London and Dublin. You will also go through 'biometric capture' (fancy name for having your picture taken), hand baggage check and security check in London. Follow the purple connection signs.

Rick himself does not frequent this board (although his staff does). The rest of us are merely "members of the traveling public," just like yourself.
Heathrow's website has a great connection tool. Put in all your particulars, and it will tell you all the steps and the estimated time you'll need: http://www.heathrowairport.com/heathrow-airport-guide/flight-connections/connection-guides
