Do they have any fast track security lanes and are they implementing additional security screening given the global alert re. electronics? Trying to work out if I will have time to try out the lounge during my transit.

Many thanks in advance.

Safe travels

There is fast-track: and very fast it was last week, mid-afternoon. Whether or not the queue management system recognise non-QR OW status as trumping a Y-class boarding card - I dunno. But all lines seemed to be moving quickly.

Lord knows what lounge you'll eventually get directed to: but it's probably not worth busting a gut just to spend time there: you might have a longish walk from the central <sinister teddy-bear> area. If the new facilities are open it might be more interesting.
