LHR Connections - How to get through quickly and easily?
Our last three flights on BA with a connection through LHR has been a nightmare, so I'm asking for suggestions to make it less painful with an upcoming connection in November.
We are seemed to be stuck on the USA TSA rule of 3 ounces or less in your carryon and you are fine. Our last connection through LHR was just terrible. We were flying business class and it still took us over two hours to get through the security checkpoint because we had liquids in our carryon luggage.
My questions are:
1. Do ALL liquids have to be removed even if small quantities like 15ml ophthalmic drops?
2. If ALL liquids have to be removed from carryon luggage, does each item have to be placed into its own small plastic bag?
3. Does an item like toothpaste which is not a liquid have to be placed in a small plastic bag? How large can a tube of toothpaste be to be carried in your carryon luggage?
4. If flying Business Class from the US and connecting through LHR, is there an expedited line that we can utilize?
5. Any additional suggestions would be appreciated
