It's got a lot to do with the new technology they're using.
Gio BenitezHOST
The new lanes will use eGates with facial comparison technology so passengers don't have to show their boarding pass or IDs, and 3D scanners for luggage.
Gio BenitezHOST
And those are the scanners that are gonna let them detect whether or not it's water in a bottle.

They also have new 3D body scanners that they're hoping to elevate security and speed things up with just a little bit.

Immigration itself was actually a pleasant surprise.
Melissa ConnHOST
Our flight landed a little later than scheduled because we had an aircraft swap and we lost about an hour, but the immigration line moved super fast, and thankfully, the UK is now letting kids eight and up use their digital eGates.
Melissa ConnHOST
I definitely wasn't expecting that because when we went to Portugal a few months earlier in the year, they wouldn't let anyone under 18 use the eGates because of privacy laws.
Melissa ConnHOST
That meant we spent more than an hour waiting in line in each direction in Portugal, but in London, both of our kids walked through the eGates on their own passports, and we were out of the airport super fast.
Melissa ConnHOST
Once you're on the ground, getting around London is easier than I expected going in, and it's the first of a few things that surprised me in a good way about the trip.
Melissa ConnHOST
Apple Maps and Google Maps both handle the transit routing really well overall, and they even tell you which exit to take at each train station.
