I remember when the old sludge works were still there. Back in the 80s there was this little lane that went off from the perimeter road...Probably the last remnants of the old Heathrow village country lanes. You could drive down it back then. I wish I'd taken some photos.
cool vid!!! Iv flown from Heathrow Terminal 5 and its hugh, never seen anything like it!!! But did prefer terminal 3 cus they didnt loose all of our luugage!!! LOL!!! The building was shexcii!!!! haha!!!
Nice commercial. I recognize the place where I slept while my baggage was stuck somewhere in the baggage system during the first day of operation. Ahhh, sweet memories...
yes - Singapore Airlines uses the A380 on a daily flight to Heathrow terminal 3, arrives 05.55 and departs 11.45, I live near Heathrow and often see it.
Let's stop knocking them. My heart goes out to all the hardworking people who was and are involved in this project.The problems will be resolved soon. But why no choice for the passengers. There is a expensive black Taxi choice but no signs displaying information on how to book a minicab. For some passengers a Hackney cab is not within reach of their budget
Lets give this project huge support, I am sure it will get better very soon. Although they seem to be encouraging passengers to use the rank taxi's which are not within some customers financial reach and this is the only terminal that I have not seen signs displaying minicab options with displayed telephone numbers.
The dome, tilting trains, the eurostar, the list goes on. Britain is now regarded as an embarassment. Look at beijing airport. no problems whatsoever. Its guaranteed no top brass will be sacked. Given the same circumstances a "normal" emplyee would be sacked without a hefty pension. another national disgrace fromm a country that used to lead.
What's embarassing about Eurostar and the Pendolino trains? The number of passengers using them increases year on year! And the Dome is now used as a concert venue.
Its really annoying the fact the staff at heathrow cannot organize a pissup in a brewery. THats the annoying thing i have noticed about england alot of people in positions have not got a clue. THere are so many incompetent people employed in england in public service who are useless. Forget england
Well living here stateside, I am not pleased that all flights from the USA will be leaving more efficient and less crowded Gatwick for Heathrow because of the Open Skies Agreement made between the Federal Government and the UK Government. This will be a major inconvience.
I can not w8 to go there plus i'll b there on the day it first opens the "27th the first thing i'm going to do is raid all the shops and i heard theres a chocolate box shop so i think i might gain sum weight after i go there
It was hoping for something a bit more interesting but it's just a bigger version of Bristol or Stanstead Airports, it's still an improvement to the other Terminals, Heathrow is a complete shit whole in general I can't understand how some foreigners can like it.
It is simply brilliant! Briton has an airport it can be proud of it. Visited it last week, as part of the trial team. BA have the best airport terminal in the world!
terminal 5 will replace the old terminal 2 which is used mainly for european departures. its next to the queens building -as you drive in from under the tunnel. its also more than 40 years old. in the meantime it has processed many millions of passengers in that time. also when it rains you have to put buckets in the basement as the water is coming into the baggage belt area !! so it will be closed in march 08
I hope british efficiency is up to it - you never know.
it looks allright, nothing spectuacular, just a new terminal that obviously pisses all over third world terminals 2 and 3. At the end of the day It is done in that plain white box style all new UK airports like Bristol and Stanstead are done with. It's still no Sigapur or Madrid Barajas.
