It's very much hit or miss to be honest... I am glad you had a seamless experience at the airport. It seems to be getting better (i.e. they are getting better with the queues) and they are staggering those a.m. departures on both sides. My hiccup was with the security check (this was 10 days ago). Only 1/3 of the positions were operational (I wonder if they have them all operational now), so there was a bit of a bottleneck there. So from check-in to the lounge, it took us a good 40 minutes. Happy to hear that things are improving. On a separate note, I flew in last night from London and went through immigration in what looked like a temporary set up, so I know there is still more work being done there (for both incoming and outgoing passengers). Fingers crossed...
