Yes, staff around will also contact their transit colleagues, but they are not transit people, they are arrival people that VCE puts in there to direct people around the peak summer period. They are very nice too!

Do you have to go through customs if you land from Doha and then fly to U.K. on a BA flight or can you just exit QR flight then find the gate where your BA flight will depart?
Trying to figure out whether we should book 12.25pm LGW flight or 12.50pm LHR flight on the way back from Doha in February. We will only have hand luggages. Thanks.

Well, if I lived in Brighton, Crawley or Croydon, for example, I would certainly see some benefit in flying into LGW on BA. As for the delays, yes the EU queues for immigration are sometimes quite long, but they seem to move fairly quickly. And as for the non-EU line, I've never seen more than a couple of people in it. Compare that with Heathrow.
