LCY Immigration/Transit

[Blackswan]

I just booked a QFF redemption on BA in J, TXL-LCY-JFK (with the Shannon stopover on BA1), travelling next month.

Has anyone had any experience with transiting at LCY? Do you need to clear UK immigration and go Landside - then reclear security - or can you transit without entering the UK like you do at LHR?

Thanks in advance

You'll need to clear inbound immigration go landside and then clear outbound security to get airside again.

Great, thanks for confirming. Given there's no lounge (only a "waiting area"), I'm happy to go outside, stretch my legs and get some fresh air.

BA has turned the gate for BA1/3 into a lounge, it is not too bad compared to the rest of LCY and worth visiting to get the full BA1 experience. I made the journey back in August last year, the odd photo is here.
