Connecting to KBP via LHR

[rkn777]

Forgive me if this is in the wrong section, I do not see a "travel" section.   Moderator, feel free to move if there is a more appropriate place...

I have a flight ORD to LHR on American Airlines, connecting in LHR to KBP on British Air.   BA only flies to Kiev once a day.   I only have a one hour and fifteen minute connection time!   What happens if my flight from Chiacago is late~  will I be stuck in London or will the accomidate me on another carrier (even though there are no other nonstops, I could fly LHR-KBP via Milan later in the day, or through Hungary, Poland or PRG).    Any thoughts?   Hate to waste a day in London, its not Amerstdam after all....

Since i don't know your date, it is difficult to make the search for you !!!

By example, i have find a flight ( date choose : 28/01 ) at 365 eur + 105 euro tax with LOT-Polish ( night flight )

Chicago (O'Hare International) 17:35 28/01

Warsaw 09:45 29/01

Warsaw 11:05 29/01

Kiev (Borispol) 13:40 29/01

I depart LHR-KBP 1/19   but I already have a ticket, just want to know  since BA nly flies once a day if they will make me sta in London 24 hours if I miss the connection r will they pay for a ticket on another carrier?   I would hate to be suck in London...  But I really dont want to end up paying for a ticket from LHR-KBP if I get delayed form Chicago....

From British Airway site :

 

Please make sure you know how to transfer between your flights.

If you are late for your flight it will depart without you.

I have had that exact thing happen to me on my last two trips.  They have usually found me alternate flights which is cheaper for them than putting you up in a hotel. 

Hopefully it will not happen to me again when I go to Kiev tomorrow.

The problem is that there are no alternate BA flights, just other carriers....

The other carriers are not a problem.  My trip before the one I arrived on today was on booked on Austrian Air.  I never flew on one of their planes for the whole trip.  The re-booked me on KLM and Delta.  They don't want you to have to stay over.  They don't worry about what airline you have to go on.   Todays trip was the first in the last three that I actaully flew on the planes I was supposed to.   Of course I had to sit on the plane for an hour while they repaired the electrical circuts but it did go and I didn't miss my connections.
