The BBC says that the check-in desk is ‘the length of four football fields’.

Apart from that tho – how will T5 increase capacity by 30 million passengers per year? There are no more take-off or landing slots and of course no extra runways…

All that money wasted on the public enquiry when everybody knew that the decision was made already. Now they have the terminal capacity but not enough runways – the perfect justification for the third runway at Heathrow.

And guess what T5 is slap, bang next to? The site for the proposed new runway.

Wonders never cease…
