Be prepared for a full TSA check in even after having one to get to London.
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysEDI-LHRJan 2024
Flying the whole route with BA makes Heathrow T5 very easy. Only one security check was required in Edinburgh. None at Heathrow. This is one benefit of flying BA. We were also able to use the BA lounges which made for more relaxing wait before our flights.
