Update from LHR on Monday 21st.
- My friend learnt late Sunday night that Austria would close border to UK on Monday 24:00
- Her routing is LHR-VIE-CPT with Austrian/LH Group.
- On early arrival at T2, Security were placed between the car park and the Departures floor.
- They had a list of which flights were operating and only letting in the pax for those.
- I looked up her originating from VIE and could see that it had just left and told the security staff of that.
- Went back to the car.
- She found only self-check desks open but got through airside no probs.
- Changed in VIE and is now over Africa.
- Expect this to be VERY different on Tuesday.
