I am actually flying on the day that a whole lot of flights move over from T4. I am (delusionally) hoping this will speed things up, as they really can't afford a repeat of the last fiasco, so will have extra manning etc tc. Triumph of hope over experience !!
They will want to see your passport at bag checkin. Presumably visa will be checked at the same time; otherwise, and if hand baggage only, the only ID check is at the gate.
The only definite visa type check I know of is for Russia and Poland.
