I also can not think of any UK airports where you can easily just exit the departure lounge back to landside. Surely this is a security/border compromise?
you have asked this on multiple threads
Its the same as the discussion on schengen clean thread you have also posted in.
UK domestic arrivals are considered clean in the uk. There is no border compromise as everyone on the flight already cleared the uk border.
So at many uk airports, not just edi, domestic arrivals go straight into the departure gates. International arrivalscare handled differently.
Very smilar to schengen arrivals in the EU.
