On board BA premium economy - three crying babies/toddlers around us....my Bose come very handy. Boarding on Premium is with general passengers- not with First/Business. But once seated, with extra legroom, leg and foot rest, more reclining and extra rooM between my seat and window, it is far more comfortable. Currently watching The Hangover 2!!
Overall impression of Premium class.... Definately more leg room. Meals are the same 'tin-foiled' economy food. It is best to get window seat. If you are 6' you still will feel a bit squeezed. If you are on window seat or middle of the mid-section, you will need to climb over your neighbor.
Arriving at LHR- it took only 40min from landing to clear security check at T5. British Airway's T5 has 3 separate buildings ( e.g. gates A, B, C). Within Europe international flights are mostly leaving from A gates. When you first arrive at T5 B gates or C gates, it's not 100% clear where you should be going as all you see on the flight board is B gates and C gates info. You just follow the sign that says "All Connecting Flights" - even though that involves taking a short train ride.
You will soon be met by BA agents checking your passport and connecting flight boarding pass. They even randomly check your bag etc - but this is just a "casual" inspection.
Real Security Check point will come after this one. The process is very much same as US but you are asked to take only boots and heels - no flsts, sandals, sneakers or Uggs. iPads, nook, kindles, etc are consider as laptop and need to be out of the bag.
Since Spain/Italy BA flights are now using T5, flights to Vienna, Prague, and Budapest are moved to T3/T1.
