Is it possible that someone at BA actually follows these threads ??
Flew back from AGP 2 days ago and checked in at 13.00 for 14.20 flight. Unbelievable experience compared to all recent trips.
4 BA check in desks, which were no longer split out with different desks for different flights (LCY, LGW). All 4 desks empty on approach, and the agent got an instant response from her computer (not the normal 3rd world sluggish inaction). Whole process for 2 pax with checked bags took 2 mins ^.
Then computer said "Yes" at fast track security ^
The lounge, on the other hand (over which BA has no control), was much worse than usual. Rammed full (presumably because of French ATC delays). ran out instantly of such feeble food as was on offer, ran out of glasses, etc, etc.
On the other hand no passport queue at all, just breezed through (as in the photo above) apart from a telling off for having ducked through the queuing tapes to avoid the completely unnecessary 100 metre hike through the empty track.
