Does anyone know if I can use the Schengen security check when flying to London, and then cross the border airside? I can't really see an issue with this approach, but I'm wondering if the (electronic gate) checkpoint before security will let me through.
Background to this question is that I'm travelling with friends who are flying Lufthansa in business class, and we would like to wait together (which will make any length of wait much more bearable!). Is my BA Gold status likely to give me access to the fasttrack Schengen security lane?
Thanks!
