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?

No longer an issue but the 100 gates at LGW North to the satellite terminal in Orlando and vice versa was never a favourite.

The LHR end is a crap shoot but AMS for Gate Belgium.

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.

It’s a bit dated, but years ago, I would have said EBB-LHR. EBB was a “holding pen” gate, and the flight seemed to arrive at a bus gate at LHR. But, like I said, that’s a dated example.

YUL (partially US departures). YUL-JFK is a trip I never look forward to.

I just did YUL-PHL. Aside from them detecting traces of explosives in my hand luggage (!) I thought the airport experience was fine. Certainly beat landing as intl in the US.

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 &#128533.

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.
