lju isn't really busy enough in my recent experience to need a fast track security.

OSL

Am I right in thinking BA do not pay for fast track security at OSL?

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

appears they do pay and it can be used. Just doesn’t show on the BP

Hi

Does anyone have any updates about Kos/KGS? The list says it doesn't have fast track security but the airport website says they recently opened a fast track line in security and I was wondering if BA had paid for access?

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This means anyone can slip by to reach priority security even with some outdated / defunct / rebranded stub / status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

how to convert the downloaded from internet OneWorld Logo from fileformats: web.ph / png / tiff / svg
to standard jpg / jpeg
for use in Word97 to send it to the board printers

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.
