Hi.
Can I ask what the process would be for connecting pax please as I would be doing edi-LHR-venice in mid August.
Nornally for domestic pax itwould be straight to the departures floor after the BP check after landing at lhr but di the requirements mean I would have to go landslide then via the first wing?
Thanks

No OLCI for Italy, you need a temperature check, which is in a clearly marked area in Zone F. I didn't see a checkpoint in the First Wing. You can't miss it, I put this photo in entirely the wrong thread.

I've noticed that in T5 they page transit passengers (one by one, by name) at the gate before boarding Italy-bound flights and there is a staff member doing the temperature checks. I am not sure if this applies to domestic connections, but I would assume so (in which case it would mean you can go through connections as normal and then do the temperature check at the gate). Going airside and through the First Wing might take more or less the same time though.

Thanks flying_pig,
( of course doing the FW process landside means going through security again ( so no large liquid bottles bought after secuirty at EDI) as a DOM-Intl connection at LHR just needs a bp check

Flew out on 11 August and back on 18 August. Had temperature check at First Wing front desk and they had the health declaration form at the check in desk. Very smooth indeed.
On the way back had to fill in a further declaration on departure for Italy, but was told (wrongly) by the check in agent at VCE that I didn't need to fill in the UK online form. I did it anyway.
Finally, no problem at all for Mrs BAECAddict and I taking a back pack each and putting it in the locker overhead row 1.

Ah, from whatever is left of the colander of my brain, CAG is a 'remote' airport if memory serves me right. Meaning that CAG uses its own DCS system and then burps out the customer list and all other information on the flight as a message to Altea. So for that reason I seem to recall that OLCI isn't available there.

Important information for those flying to CAG or OLB (Sardinia)
Flying to CAG today, FW was able to take my temperature and provide the Italian declaration. What they did not inform was that an online form is required and you are then emailed a QR code. They ask for A LOT of information and it was painful having to do this at the gate.
i would suggest downloading the App and completing this in the lounge, or with your health declaration. You need to register and then supply all your travel details, hotels and flights.

On the plus side, arriving at 05:30 there weren’t any queues to check in or for security and no one in the CCT when we first arrived.
