Main cabin check-in lines @ TBIT always seem long and chaotic. I fortunately haven't been in one of those in years. If you have no status or premium cabin, plan on minimum 45 minutes to check in. TBIT security lines (even premium) can be "special." I'd allow minimum 30 minutes, probably more. You can head over to the T4 security checkpoints (or connecting flight checkpoint between the terminals) and walk back if need be and this may save time.
Thanks for the info. We will have some checked baggage unfortunately. As for premium cabins, we would have 1 F class and the rest being discount economy. Would everyone be allowed in the premium check-in line, or would we have to split up? I've never run into this situation before.
