No ICTS w/UA @ LHR? Wow.
I get the full ICTS treatment on all my LGW departures on US carriers. Same goes with AMS, BRU, FRA, MUC, MAD ... pretty much any European departure point I've used.
Now that I'm doing a bit of flying on OW, have OW Emerlad Status, etc, against my better judgement I booked a connection via LHR. I purposely left plenty of time for connections, knowing I will have lounge access to use should I have extra time.
Anyone know what the current procedure is for AA flights these days on LHR-ORD? Any ICTS interview, or is it just transit screening, gate screening, and back to the USA?
FCC or exit via immigrations and change?
T3 to T2 and reverse connection. FCC or exit via immigrations and change terminals? Arrival into T3 is early AM, arrival into T2 on the return is late-AM.
Thanks!
