Just arrived from LAS - boy was I glad of fast track connections today! The normal queue was hundreds and hundreds of people long - and that was before our 747 disgorged a full pax load! Fast track was genuinely faster!

9 times out of 10 these days I exit via e - passport gates (UK/EU) and re - enter through South security...which almost invariably is faster especially since fast lane for UK/EU passport holders was removed from connections to UK domestic. You can take a quick look at connections before deciding to land and re-enter. South usually shows two little men on the board and North has five...seems to be an imbalance in the traffic but fine if you know the shortcut.

At North Security I don't know why they bother with the pretence of the separate Fast Track and Standards scanner lanes - because once you get beyond them the lines all merge into one anyway. So there is NO Fast Track at North Security at all.
