Long layover in London with change in airport
I have a flight from Mumbai to Toronto with British Airways with a 18 hr layover in London where I also have to change airports. My itinerary looks like this (all times are local):
BOM-LHR dep on 30th May 2019 at 13:10
LGW-YYZ dep on 31st May 2019 at 12:55
Will my check in bags be available directly at Toronto or will they need to be collected at LHR and checked in again next day at LGW? Please note that this is on a single PNR.

Can I change flight during layover?
To change planes for a connecting flight, start by asking a flight attendant on your flight or reviewing the Departures board in the airport to find your departure gate number. Then, if your luggage hasn't been checked through to your final destination, pick it up from baggage claim and go back through security.Do you have to go through security when changing terminals at Heathrow?

You may have to pay a change fee or difference in fares, depending on the fare you've booked. If you can do it at MMB you'll be given the difference in fare plus fee before choosing to buy so you can see what's available before calling the (unfortunately not always helpful) BA phone agents.London Heathrow Review | Airport Review | Solo Travel | Long Layover in London
