But, we might be able to get some general sense. Like others, I've come to realise that 179 is consistently terrible. That's a no-go flight for me now.
BA has got greedy and stuffed T7 with Cr-p like LOT. There make a few $ on the fee to use the terminal, then stuff their premium traffic into long queues as LOT, Ukraine and other low tier airlines fill up with transfer traffic, much of which does not seem to get ESTA entry so processing each takes a long time. For this you can blame BA.

Just arrived on BA117 - landed at 1100, on the gate at 1110, number 5 or 6 in the passport queue at 1115 although there were no agents at any stations for a few minutes I must have been through in 10 minutes. Quicker than a lot of GE by the look of it.

However there was only one lane open so those at the back of Y would have had a considerably longer wait.
