Worst Route Gate to Gate
Thought experiment going through my (sad) mind.... it is a Friday
Which BA routing do we think has the WORST gate to gate pair at the UK/foreign airport...
My shout ... consistently ... is LHR > Barcelona
Way out: from T3 at the very far end of the pier after every other airline (I would say 15 min walk from the Lounge)
Way back: D gates in El Prat - again typically at the very far end of the terminal (I would say 10 min walk from the Lounge)
Any other takers?

LGW(S) does quite ‘well’ ... arrive ex-JER with bus gate, enter Arrivals, go to Security/Departures and end up at the adjacent gate I arrived at about 30minutes later.

I had that last year on YVR-LAX. It was a bit of a worry. They did another scan, which came up negative. They put it down to me being an electrician (albeit retired 😕.

Mia for me. Often zoo boarding at t3 and very late my walks upon arriving with immigration that can be short but also sometimes very long.
