Positive boarding at LHR

This seems interesting...!

Positive boarding to avoid passenger delays

I think I will spend far too much time on that website!

Thanks for posting that Sealink
It looks like an interesting website
I will definitely be checking that out

looks like they are rolling out 'conformance' that BA operate at T5 which means if you've not gone through security (or other check points) by t-X minutes then you're not getting on the plane.

Its supposed to ensure more on-time departures.

There are mixed feelings about it on the flyer talk BA thread. The antis mainly being the ones who have been caught out by it !

I like this technology overall, however I do have a couple queries.

1) it doesn't say whether there is a solid T-35 minutes cut off point as in T5, perhaps it varies by airline and destination?

2) I don't want to see this introduced for connections. As seen on the BA FlyerTalk page, this is where the lack of human touch is a problem as people miss connections which they could easily reach if the flight is departing from a gate literally metres away.
