Just T2. I was thru T5 a couple of days ago and not a problem.

I'm glad I'm flying from Birmingham in August.

I returned from Namibia to Heathrow yesterday via Frankfurt. Long lines, standing still, at Frankfurt for EU citizens trying to enter Germany. Lufthansa flight delayed over an hour before departing for Heathrow Terminal 2.
At Heathrow all citizens of the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and all EU states can use the E gates. (a courtesy which the EU refuses to extend to UK citizens as part of their campaign to punish Britain for having the temerity to leave the Evil Empire)
It took 8 minutes to clear immigration and by the time I had a pee, my bag was out. 15 minutes from the plane to outside. I am sure there are bad days at Heathrow but yesterday it was much better than Frankfurt.
However if you were a citizen of China or any African country the immigration lines were long and hardly moving.

Isn't the President of Emirates Airlines a Brit?

Yep, the CEO.

We have every conceivable nationality working in Dubai.

But they do WORK.

If they don't they are fired.

Very simple really.

Problem with BA and the parent Spanish company that owns them and runs several British airports only got the job because of back handers to politicians.

What is going there at airports is just incredible.

Had an English friend here a couple of days ago, he says Great Britain no longer exists.

We have the GREAT FUCKED UP country.


Years ago they lost my trophies coming from Zimbabwe, and no one seemed to care where they are.

The BA manager here was trying his best, and getting nothing from London.

I sent them a letter, which was addressed to all our companies managers, to no longer deal with BA, as it seems they are run by a bunch of incompetent IDIOTS!

Two days later my trophies were found, and sent to Dubai.

Best part is we did not use BA for our flights!

that kind of shit happens when the country

is flooded with immigrants from the shit holes

of the world.

Not at all.

Purely very bad management!

The largest part of the problem is that the country IS NOT flooded with immigrants!!!

They have all gone back where they came from after Brexit and we have (essentially) zero unemployment and rampant, economy destroying inflation!

Most airports here are hundreds of baggage handlers short - so some folk who actually work there tell anyway.

A friend left my house at 5:30 this morning travelling to Europe.

The airport is roughly 30-35 minutes from our house.

Got a message from him at 6:14 saying he has already checked in, through immigration and was in the coffee shop in the Duty Free!

He added " I HATE flying through London!"
