Lots of HAL staff too, as this principally is a HAL-delivered project. The security area and corridor is HAL space, the check-in area and interface with the lounge is BA.

The Flight Connections Centre now has routes to both North and South Security, and there's reconfiguration of this area happening now to make it a simpler experience (including a better marked Fast Track lane). Nothing like TFW, but better than today.

Also, I take if I was leaving to get a flight I would just take the old entrance and use the escalators? There hasn't been another exit built on?
The corridor emerges behind the Gold Bar. The main entrance/exit to the lounge is as it's always been.

The latter. The existing Concorde Room door adjacent to South Security will close when TFW opens fully next week.

No, that will be an open entrance to the lounge. The doors are still required where they are as it's a fire compartment.
