Dave Noble said:The reported problems of queues at LHR is an issue which needs to be addressed. Having security is all fine but they do need to get it running at a reasonable speed; it sounds like it is as bad as some US airports that I have seen ( I have yet to do a connection at LHR , my trips are nearly always O/D in UK)
Some connections are okay. Just the ones that aren't spoil the LHR experience.
Eg T1 dom -> T3 has no security check, bus ride through the bowels of the airport and no queue at transfer desk in T3 to pick up my onward boarding pass. Last year I had a same terminal transfer early one morning and was through security within 5 minutes (albeit after a looong walk from a distant gate).
LHR is definitely not an airport you would want to be using if unable to walk far (unless you have a looong connection to cope with additional delays for wheelchairs).
