Has BA changed permanently to using Gate B17 at MUC? Been through 6 times in 2023 and it is used every time. While I place almost all of the blame on it being a jet bridge gate with no seating at all the concept of priority boarding seems totally lost when they only have one channel and agent checking passports/BP. The lack of capacity for people waiting means that the area is just completely jammed with passengers as well as being lined up into the main gate area which tbh makes it just best if everybody boards at the same time because no way is anyone getting through when they do call by groups. I just check my carry on in to LHR now from MUC and spend more time in the lounge which I do like rather than worrying about having any space for it in the overhead

Data point - it seems CFU Corfu does have fast track security, and fast track noted on my mobile bp, and when the lady at the entrance scanned it she immediately pointed me to an empty fast track lane. Saved probably 20 minutes there.
Passport control isn’t quite as happy a picture and I have joined quite a long queue unfortunately.

Current status at T5 fast track
Checking here if anyone has recent experience with fast track lanes at T5 connections and T5 passport control.
we’re a family traveling with 3 kids US-LHR-IT connecting and back IT-LHR-US with a stopover in London, hence crossing the border. We have a mix of US and EU passports.
thanks!!

i guess
This means anyone can slip by to reach priority security even with some outdated / defunct / rebranded stub / status
Nobody bothered to update the lot

I'm BA silver at LGW with 2 parents on my booking.
I know I can bring one guest to fast track with me, can the other parent also join or might they make a fuss about having two guests? We are boarding group 2 but fast track only shows on my app boarding pass.

MAA (Chennai) new T2
BA has moved to the recently opened international Terminal 2 at Chennai. My experience last Wednesday (GCH, in CW):
Priority boarding: yes. Group 1 called first and separately, after (so very much) pre-boarding.
Fast track for security/emigration: no. But at 0330 (for BA36) the queues were not long.
The new terminal looks very good. It may be worse at other times of the day, but for BA35/36 the whole thing was a breeze.
