We were delayed getting in due to traffic and then another delay on the ground as our slot at the gate was already in use. In the end we got off 45 minutes late at 1.40pm. We breezed through Immigration in about 10 minutes, though we had to wait for our bags, there seemed to be no priority for Business class bags at Terminal 5 which is strange.
We stopped in the terminal for a coffee, I checked the BA Arrivals lounge but it closes at 2pm - do they not expect anyone to arrive after 2?? We caught the National Express bus round to Gatwick getting there at 4.15 just timed perfect for checking in for our final flight to Inverness.
After check in we went through and went to a new lounge in South Terminal - No.1 Lounge. It used to be the Continental lounge up to a year ago. It is now a pay to enter lounge, £18 a visit. This includes all drinks (apart from champagne and cocktails) and small bistro type food. There is Wifi using Spectrum (you need the password "n01wiFi" to access). We sat and had some food and drink while catching up on the UK news on the BBC.
We left the lounge at 6.45 to go to the gate for our FlyBe flight to Inverness.
