Just returned from our holiday and failed to make our connection back to Manchester from London (flight in from Doha). The Qatar airways person walked us through the terminal to the ticket desk to arrange our onward trip. In doing so they bypassed UK border control. I'm guessing that's not really allowed!

border control
Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -

Originally posted by BoredBloke View PostNope - final flight was internal in the UK. We bypassed border control in T4. Stayed in a hotel for the night, taxi to T5 and a BA flight to Manchester in the morning. Used our passports as photo ID for BA, but never once went through border controlComment
