    The timeous arrival of your luggage is not directly proportionate to the speed you walk to the carousel. Slow down.

    This is one of the worst airport. Passport Control was a zoo. A line 4 diplomats only BUT not marked. No one behind. Regular folks was filled with HUNDREDS (8 lines of 25 ppl). Only 3 windows working.

    Not much good here unfortunately. Slow services and over priced gift shops. The BA galleries lounge is too small and not enough seats when busy

    No free wifi. And line up at immigration is chaotic as people from different queues can walk to different immigration desk counters. Watch out for porters who ask to help you with your luggages

    You can get on an open wireless network "NETGEAR" by sitting outside of the Sunglasses Hut in Terminal A (once you're through security). It's fast.
