Fast Track from £6 is the useful buy when the standard lane is already long; it runs 04:00–20:00 in both terminals.

Short-haul with no hold bag can work closer to 90 minutes off-peak, but morning and late-afternoon peaks still fill the hall.

easyJet is North; BA, Ryanair, Wizz and Jet2 are South. TUI splits: TOM North, BY South. There is no airside link.

The free landside shuttle takes about two minutes. If you clear security in the wrong terminal you start again.

Boots, WHSmith and M&S sit before security. After security, official water fountains and any restaurant or bar will fill a bottle at no charge.

North Terminal fountains sit to the right of World Duty Free just after security; South has them by the toilets on both levels.

A direct Clubrooms booking includes Fast Track. Priority Pass, LoungeKey and DragonPass cover most paid lounges except Plaza Express and the airline rooms.

Clubrooms still charges Priority Pass / LoungeKey a supplement. The British Airways Club and First rooms (South) and the Emirates lounge (North) are entitlement only.
