Upstairs (20 to 39) is accessible from downstairs (81 to 88) if there is a guard in place to prevent inbound international passengers from exiting that way through domestic arrivals, this has been done in the past (during long term TTS outages etc) their is pop up signage available for this if required and is part of the contingency plans in place for various scenarios
in addition the traditional domestic only departures gates were scrapped many years ago, and any flight can depart from any gate (I’ve done domestics from Sat 1 and vice versa), it’s only inbounds that are the issue because of routing to UKBF
