Friday 3pm. T3 security was fine except the person in front with several bags, lots of toiletries, deviecs including a hair dryer (which must come out at MAN), an extension cable and an assortment of odd bits. I think the staff were amazed by the volume and kept asking if it was all for this one person. After this it was very quick.

Escape Lounge utterly horrible - hot, noisy and BA passengers corralled into a space that overlooked the bar down on the main floor of T3. I don’t know how BA begin to image how this lounge measures up to their web page marketing:
