Heathrow T5 - superb new airport terminal
Posted by: Guido Fawkes on 01 April 2008
Just back from a weekend away and would like to say what a great experience it was travelling from the wonderful new Terminal 5 at Heathrow with British Airways. No delays - just straight through with the minimum of hassle and no trouble with the luggage at all.
Britain can be really really proud of the state of the art terminal.
Well done - Willy Walsh and all concerned.
Especially liked the excellent car park - great security - no way could any thief get my car out from the car park as not even I, as it's rightful owner, could get the number plate recognition system to open the barrier - very impressive.
No problems with the bag handling to report - thanks to the advice to travel hand luggage only.
And I know the staff at the airport were giving me loads of useful information and it was entirely my and other passengers fault that we couldn't understand a word the non-English speaking Heathrow staff were saying - it was silly of me to expect the staff at Heathrow to speak the same excellent English that the airport staff in Austria spoke.
In Vienna airport it looked so clean you could eat off the floor, in Heathrow Terminal 5 it looked as if somebody already had.
Happy daze, Rotf
