Keith T 2 Report post Posted June 6, 2007 Must be just after the foiled liquid plot last year. Don't recall a line at LHR that's ever this bad, although I've been slaughtered by queues at FCC before, even with Fast Track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alan B. 5 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 My last trip ( about a month after the security scare ) I was in the queue for 1 hour ........aduh! Heathrow is horrible if you have a connecting flight at another terminal and I hate having to wait in the duty free lounge waiting to find out the gate number. Queue to get into terminal, queue at check-in, queue at security and queue for take-off......... but queue to take-off not bad cos can get to look at planes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keith T 2 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) Did they have special arrangements for the elderly and infirm - any idea ? Not sure - but there is Fast Track for BA's First, Club World and oneworld sapphire/emerald pax. And also other airlines who've paid BAA for use of the Fast Track lane for their premium pax. In T1 there's Zone R where BA's First, Club World and oneworld sapphire/emerald pax have exclusive use of their own security queue. There is also Fast Track for the FCC queues - but it is unreliable. Next time I intend to go landside for terminal changes. Edited June 7, 2007 by Keith T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geoff R. 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2007 (edited) I have been through Heathrow three times in the last 5 weeks (Once each T1, T2 and T3) and the queue for security screening has taken about 5 to 15 minutes. Heathrow claim they have recruited extra staff and passengers should not normally have to wait for more than 10 minutes. In the first few weeks after the security scare queuing of 1 hour was quite common. I caught an SQ flight with only 15 minutes to spare having arrived at the door of the terminal 3 hours before departure one week after the security scare. The joys of air travel!

Now if only they'd do the same for the FCC - or have a Fast Track queue that's actually open! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
