This is a real enhancement!! ^ ^ Very good news, well done BA! (As long as it doesn't end up like T4 "Fast"Track which is often just as slow as the normal security checkpoint.)

(1) Any passenger in a premium cabin on any of BA, GB airways, British Mediterranean or QF can use the service.
(2) An Executive Club member travelling in a premium cabin on ANY airline can use the service.
I think that they probably meant to say was that Executive Club membership on its own provides no access

At last, it's always a bit of an anti-climax disembarking from a flight in F / J only to find yourself behind 200 Japanese tourists, each of whom sets of the metal detector.

Sounds like good news, but the opening hours are a bit restrictive. I do a T1 to T1 Domestic every Friday, but will probably just miss the 6pm closing time.
A thought occured to me last Friday, usually the security queue at T1 Domestic is much shorter than the transfer security, so would it be possible to go landside on arrival and then just walk through to T1 Domestic departures? Would security allow this?

Well, I thought it was funny.
