Flying from Ottawa to Kuwait via London Heathrow
I will be travelling in 3 weeks, going from Ottawa to London Heathrow (LHR), and on to Kuwait.
I arrive at LHR Terminal 2 and, after a 6-hour layover/transit, depart from Terminal 4 for the flight to Kuwait.
- How do I get from Terminal 2 to Terminal 4 and will I need to go through customs and immigration?
- Is there a place we can rest whilst not leaving the airport?
- The entire trip was booked via Air Canada; the first leg is on AC, the second on British Airways. Will I need to claim my baggage from AC, or will it be checked through?
I am flying with a child and I haven't traveled in a while.

Are you sure its terminal 4? From what I know, BA flights to Kuwait depart from terminal 5.

Luckily, Heathrow's website has an excellent tool to take the guess work out of this.
I used March 9 as your travel date, flight AC888 from Ottawa and BA157 to Kuwait.
As per the website, you'll have to:
- Follow the signs for connections.
- Take the free shuttle bus.
- Go through security screening.
- Wait for your next flight.
Its been a long time since I've been through Heathrow so I cannot comment on the rest areas, but from what I know there are individual seating pods and lots of seating areas that you can avail.
You will not need to re-check your bags.
