Would you book a connection through LHR on purpose over a tighter routing?

I am comparing two itineraries and one of them connects through Heathrow with a longer stop.

The appeal is massive route choice plus strong long-haul positioning. The hesitation is security lines.

Would you intentionally route through London if the total trip time was a bit longer but the layover quality looked much better?

I would absolutely choose LHR on purpose if the airport quality meaningfully lowers the chance of a chaotic connection day.

The best itinerary is not always the shortest one. Sometimes the calmer hub is worth far more than the saved hour on paper.

That said, if security lines is tied to the season or the exact bank of flights you are using, I would model that before committing.

A longer routing only wins when the extra time actually buys comfort, flexibility, or a better recovery window.
