The BA desks are temporary - looks like the permanent ones (similar to the new lounge desk design you see at EDI, AMS, SIN etc.) have not arrived.
The white doors in the GF lounge are also temporary and will be removed once the space is fully operational on 4 April.
Nice set of photos. What they don't show is the new F check-in area, although there are still bits to be finished off there.

Nice pictures. Thanks! Almost makes me want to check in at LHR now. 
(I guess nothing has changed for pax in transit, other than that there will be no more shortcut after security?)

Its a shame those UK connecting into LHR dont really get to enjoy these sort of things (yes I know you could do a long winded exit and reentry) as it looks nice and adds another layer of exclusiveness (that you pay for but dont receive when connecting)

Looks fantastic thanks for the pictures! Just tying to picture where the fast track comes out in Galleries First?
Also, I take if I was leaving to get a flight I would just take the old entrance and use the escalators? There hasn't been another exit built on?

Thanks for the excellent pics. Is there a new, direct route to the CCR or does one have to go into the F lounge, out of the F lounge, past the showers and then into the CCR?
