As I can use the e-gates (having registered recently) next time I can I am planning to do what many people do in LHR, that is, cross the border and do the security from land-side. Anyone has tried this way?
So you'll go through the e-gates, go landslide into the arrivals hall, then take the escalator up to departures and go back through security? I must admit that's a novel approach! I can see the logic in it if there are
very long and very slow-moving queues at the transit points and if your arrivals gate happens to be near the top of the terminal and thus a short walk to the e-gates... so please let us know how this experiment goes!
