British, American and Aer Lingus all have a codeshare so you might not have to recheck your bag unless you are flying Delta/Virgin/United back to the states.

this is the CORRECT ANSWER


just relax in airport




Security and customs is not much fun in Great Britain these days...its crowded and slow


if you miss your flight it could be a giant hassle




its one of those things that looks good on paper

and you need to return to your gate two hours before departure


Ummm what?! Do people actually sit at a gate for 2 hours? Also, at Heathrow, they don’t even post the gate information until like 30 minutes before boarding time.

I've done a few a leaving airport excursions during long layovers and will say this one feels tight. That said, If I was traveling solo with just a carry-on I would do it, assuming arriving flight lands on time/early and its an airport where I've cleared security before and know how to navigate well.

Also, you have to set a hard stop to go back. This is hard for some people, I mean like we are 1 block from the Abbey but its time to head back so we have to turn around. If you can't commit to a hard stop don't do it.
