My wife's chorus is singing at the 2012 Olympics in London next July/August
I'm joining her for the concert tour, which is a 9 day tour including Paris and London. We're paying for a "deviation" to the standard tour, to allow us to return 11 days later than the rest of the group.
We're using the 11 days to tour Scotland, starting and ending in Edinburgh. We then have to get ourselves to Heathrow and meet up with our "deviation" flight back to the US which leaves at 3PM.
I have several choices for flights from EDI to LHR. The safest and cheapest will give us a 4.5 hour layover at LHR. I may well take that one. I can get one equally as cheap, but with only a 55 minute connection time at LHR. Is that too tight for a connection to an international flight? Finally, I can pay almost 3 times as much and get a BA flight that gives us a connection time of 1:45.
My inclination is to just take the 4.5 hour layover, and be safe. What does the collective wisdom of TUG think? Thanks.
