Site Supporter fatolive Posted April 5, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted April 5, 2022 Supposed to be going away on Friday. 11:10 the flight is, baggage drop says it’s open from 3 hrs before the flight and average security time is 4.5.. If that happens like that then I’ll surely miss the flight , hopefully won’t is it the same in all Terminals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only hand luggage so only Immigration to navigate Flew out last Sunday (27th March, I think) on an 08.30 flight. Got there at about 05.00 because it was reported the M56 was shut all weekend. It was, but after the exit to airport. Entered T1 as advised. Baggage and check-in didn’t even open until 06.00 so we cleared that, went to security and queued for 7 minutes and were then sent on a route-march through corridors and ended up in T3. Plane set off on time. When we returned, straight off the plane, bus to T3, security was an armed cop and a Border Force chap who asked if I had a passport. Showed him the front cover and he waved me through. I thought it was like a pre-inspection but it turned out that was it. Baggage carrousel then outside. No bother in either direction.

That way you might clear security before the flight leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see them using this method to speed things up though, it would upset too many people - mainly those who are being regularly targeted for extra attention obvs. Edited April 5, 2022 by Burndens Bogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a Muslim guy; beard, garb, the lot. Briefcase by his side looking agitated/nervous. No fucker sat near him and he stood out like a sore thumb. Relaxed when I could board and fuck off.
