  • anyone been through heathrow t5 recently?

    Last time I went through T5 (2 months ago) it was ~10 minutes from walking away from the bag drop to having gone through security (and I had hand luggage including a laptop).

    From there it would have been no more than 10 minutes to get to the furthest gate I guess.

  • Pot luck right now. You may get there on a day half the staff are off with covid or it may be fine

  • It’s been a shitshow lately as per the news but it’s much better now as they’re paying staff extra to cover more shifts. The ost week or so queues were moving quickly. I was there yesterday and the queues weren’t too bad.

    One piece of advice though, make sure you’ve got anything and everything that can be conceived as a liquid out of your hand luggage prior to security. People getting bags stopped for manual searches for liquids are getting held up for 30-60 minutes.
