First time flying BA through T2 as a passenger.
Went to the CE BA desk around 07:10 for my 09:40 flight and one person at the counter, so a 30sec wait. A lot more in the other queue.
No issues.
Went to oversize baggage in zone G to drop my strappy backpack off and about 100 people in the queue, so throught "screw that" and walked down to zone A/B where i had a 2min wait for one person.
Not sure if BA have to use the photo gates even though i had fast track, but a couple of minutes to get through them and into an empty tray area that took a coulle of minutes.
Naturally, Samdex required for my shoes, and my bag with a tablet, headphones and cables got pulled for secondary.
Had to a wait another couple of minutes to get my tablet swabbed (been done quite a few times since i got it), but that didnt test positive for anything that would get me into an episode of Australia Border Force
No mention of lounges on my BPs, but went to the Escape lounge.
Not been to the lounge bit before, but pretty full. Mostly the 40s+ crowd.
Food options your normal sausages, bacon etc. Much like a hotel breakfast.
Honestly, not too bad overall. Might be a Monday with Jet2 pax dropping off skis, backpacks etc.
Easyjet / Hayes holidays using the low A bank desks along with CX and AY.
Added: not exactly the best boarding ever. Facial Scanner on one side not working, snappy and slooooow Menzies staff, and the usual pile forward with the airport doing a final call.
So far, at least 30 mins to board the flight, and problably wont be taking off for half an hour.
(on stand around 08:50, back doors opened and first bus passsenger around 08:58; group 0 called at 09:08; couple of people got on at 09:42 - probably not the last ones- well, potentially missing 2 from name calls)
Last passenger 09:50, so 42 mins to board
Not sure why CE need menu cards for a 35min flight.
At least i got an empty seat next to me.
Got Ethopian parked with FR at T3 today:
