Did the T1 'experience' yesterday: OS/LX/LH are together again in G/J/K etc, ie the other end of the hall. All staff in Menzies uniforms again, no more faking it in bmi costumes. Fast track was pointed out, the lady guarding the fast track has a cheat sheet to check if you have the right gold card. I think FTLs are allowed too, the sheet had a silver card on it too.
T1 *A lounge access was possible with my family, I specifically asked as the warden taking care of me was a trainee and had a supervisor show her the rules for family. Its *G plus immediate family ^ OR one guest.
