Today’s itinerary

Ground course and check-in

Since the beginning of the school year, Air France and KLM have moved from terminal 2 to terminal 3and it is there that we check in for Cancun. The terminal was packed and it took us a good 15 minutes in the SkyPriority line to reach the check-in counter.

When it’s our turn, no worries since Mexico doesn’t ask for any COVID document, and our luggage leaves in the depths of LHR in a few seconds.

We will then use the Fast Track and pass the security there too in a few seconds.

Location

The lounge is coded “A” and is located near the Duty Free area. It is accessible through stairs or elevators. The area is not very pleasant,as are all the backstage areas of terminals 3 and 4, the oldest of the platform.
