And what were you doing between 1425 and 1502 that took so much time, considering you were making an airside connection in the same terminal? It's just a question of going upstairs in Terminal 4.
If I knew there was no way I would make the flight (i.e. the gate was closed) I would have just waited in security like everyone else and gone to the BA desk after getting through.
First, I walked a lot
We were at one of the furtheres gates. Then, I was in security for around 25 minutes, I was about 1/3 through security when I decided to go up front and request the jump the queue. This was before I went up the stairs
