BA Desk is about 1/3rd way along on the right. a Good 5-10 mins from the Domestic Luggage Belt.

Then the God Awful lounge is further along on the Left and up one floor and is always rammed! This is the generic lounge not the good TK one!

BA Flights usually depart further down and then turn right.

A long walk from check in desk.

hope this helps
Apparently you used the landside path as you need/preferred to stop at the check-in desk which adds an additional 15-20 minutes into the process.
