Kevin GarbeApril 20, 2014Quite frankly, I have never experienced a more efficient and polite security check anywhere.
AptravelerMay 25, 2013It was very quick & efficient. But maybe that's because we landed just before noon!Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Andrew CAugust 30, 2018Was worried about news reports of 2+ hour queue... but legit, it only took 25 minutes from our gate to baggage claim (on a random summer Saturday morning)!!!
KarenOctober 23, 2018The people here are so stern, yet friendly. They do their job and don't make you feel like you're under scrutiny.
Arthur MitchellApril 24, 2022There is a secret entrance and security line if you're a priority customer with Delta or Virgin Atlantic.- Justin RooksJanuary 26, 2019The NonEU line always so long. That’s the only downside, but the staff are very welcoming and helpful
ePassport queue is so much quicker but as more people get them the slower it gets...still worth it tho- There’s always a long wait in the morning, even with fast track.
Anthony SextonSeptember 30, 2018Become a registered traveller if you can. It will save you a lot of time.
Chris-Tèr JorgitoApril 18, 2016At least 1 hour during busy periods. Ridiculous. Not enough staff for sure!
Robert HendersonFebruary 5, 2019Body scanners now been installed at the Terminal 3 staff search & security.
If you fly often, take few immigration cards here and complete in advance
ThomasNovember 1, 2013If you're stuck in the queue for passport control (and not at the desk yet) then check in here.
Joe CattravelMay 20, 2017Total disaster now! Never seen such a slow process for carry on inspections! 80% of bags got rejected and they're chemically testing deodorant and total dissection of everything! So slow!
Shocking queues for passengers and staff. Third world is better than this.- Waiting time in a queue can be way longer than your flight was! Plan!
Keda ZhuFebruary 1, 2019You have to wait for at least half an hour to go through the passport control long line. Remember to fill in the entry landing card in advance on the plane with all BLOCK CAPITALS ENGLISH.
David LounsburyJune 18, 2012Always plan 45 minutes - 1 hour for T3 border control if you are not UK or EU.
Nigel BeaneOctober 1, 2011Iris scan registration only open 9-11am in departures although web says closed indefinitely
Manimaran ManivannanOctober 2, 2011Fill up your boarding card in flight...they can't afford to keep pens here.
Michael MankowskiMay 15, 2013T3 Transfer security control one of the worst security staff in the world. Incompetent, rude and lazy. Not the case for rest of the airport.- As a mayor of this place I apologize for a long queue here. Maybe I should be dismissed?
Horribly slow for non-EU passports. Bring something to read :)
