I made it to the FCC boarding pass scanners with about 90 seconds to spare after being stuck behind a group of people faffing about at the e-gates. I then hurried to gate A2 where fortunately my LHR-JER flight was delayed and so I didn't miss it. Clearly given BA's recent and current form with delays, the same-terminal MCT increase from 60 mins to 75 mins is not enough. Perhaps it needs further increased to 120 mins. Discuss.
