Forums Frequent flyer programs British Airways Club British Airways Heathrow Terminal 5 Fast Track arrivals

  • 23 posts

    Reading about the e-gates chaos right now, and remembering pre-covid that my partner and I often got vouchers when arriving at T5 to use the fast track arrivals (she has a non-EU passport.)

    Is this up and running again now? Or will we just be stuck if the e-gates are down?

    Just arrived at T5 from Larnaka this evening at 5.45pm. Straight through e-gates and arrived at baggage reclaim just as they started. From landing to picking up the car was 25 mins. No need for any fast tracking.

    Fast track relied on (a) airlines paying for it and (b) UKBF having the agents to run it.

    At T5 UKBF had a standard hourly rate they would charge BA. At other terminals it was a £ per person paid by the airlines.
