Flying Biz class from LHR on AC - Fast Track?
Flying biz class from LHR tomorrow (Saturday) on AC. Will I have access to Fast Track security? Without luggage to check, what's the latest I can arrive at the airport and still safely make it to the flight?
Thank you
Thank you

For the latter question, it's hard to answer. Depending on the day I have had security take 5 min, or 45 min, depending on if they're using the silly "master queue feeds the other queues" system.

You will have access to fast track. When you get to security stay to the right there’s a separate lane. Shouldn’t take too long. Most I’ve ever waited was about 15 minutes I think.
Also factor in there’s quite a walk to the B gates on the other side of the terminal. It’s about a 15 minute walk from where security comes out to the B gates. You have to go down underground, walk across the apron and back up on the other side. There are some moving walkways that make it go a bit easier but it’s still quite a trek. The walkways only go in one direction though so if you have a surprise Air Canada departure from the A side like I had once, it was about 25 min to get back. They only usually publish the gate number about 30 min to boarding so it was tight
.
Safe flight.

Taking the 14:05 to YUL. Would arriving at 12:20 give me enough time to make the flight and not have to run to the gate?
