Well, we had an interesting transit through Terminal A yesterday for our return flight to Gatwick. We got all of the way to the passport control area, only to be advised that there were no facilities open in the departure lounge area in Terminal A. If we wished to have something to eat or drink, then we should go back up in the lift to the main shopping and food outlet area. We had plenty of time to do this, and ended up having a bite to eat in the McDonalds (please don't judge us!!) . We then returned to the passport area.....none of the machines were in use and the area was deserted, apart from the lines of tensa-barriers. We were directed to a desk where there was a member of border force . He kindly scanned and stamped our passports and we were on our way! It turned out that Burger King was actually open in Terminal A plus one small gift shop but nohting else. So if you plan to buy and 'duty free', it might be worth getting getting it in the new large shop at the top of the escalators just after security. Only a small part of the new shop was open when we went through yesterday.
