We were booked on an easyjet flight. As we approached the check in desks, there were queues, and we presumed some airline was managing a check in badly! Only when we had our boarding card did we discover taht we needed to walk around the other side of the lobby area (call it what you will, the upstairs check in area) and wait. Youngsters in yellow shirts where marshalling people and trying to answer obvious questions with no aplomb, as their superiors had not bothered to tell them much. When we reached the area near the departure check in/start of security, the queue was asked to form 4 lines from the one. This was very poorly managed, and no one could tell the demarcation lines. Finally we went through to discover that all four queues were reforming into one snake line again! The security was, as usual, varied. My husband was not asked to remove belt or shoes. I was (wearing walking boots, lightweight, and a cloth belt, only caused delays as no signs advised this was necessary - as indeed in his queue it wasnt.)
I have another suggestion which perhaps could make BAA wake up to client/user frustartion. If everyone did not spend a penny once through into the departure zone, BAA would loose revenue, and a couple of days no revenue might prompt some press attention.
Whatever, we are not going to use the London airports again. Heathrow is so bad, you can land there, but not be parked for an hour if the plane has to cross back over an active runway before docking. On two occasions , when parked on the tarmac, steps have taken 30 minutes to materialise....the palne was a scheduled flight, how could its appearance be a suprise?

We had an awful expereience on arrival back from Corfu on the 13th August on XL airlines, we waitied +55 for customs as 5 planes arrived at once, and we waited for our bags for more than 2 hours to come through we waited an hour just to be told what arrival area to go to, and once we got there we waited over an hour for bags to appear on the belts, they kept telling us they had some pipe problems but apparently it was staff shortages. Customs was an absolute nightmare as you can imagine with 5 planes worth of passengers.
