In defense of Heathrow T5
After all the bad press, I wasn't looking forward to Terminal 5 at Heathrow on my return flight to Munich today - so not only was I pleasantly surprised (especially after the slooooow arrival process) but also I was actually quite impressed.
My passage through departures was as smooth as a Teddy Boy's flicknife action. Having checked in online, but not printed a boarding card, I was out of the Tube, up the elevator, and logged on to a machine within a minute - and then straight through Passport control (#1) and security without any hitches. In comparison to LHR T1 ... twice as good, at least.
There's a good selection of shops and it wasn't too far to the A-series gates - and when I got to the gate there was a good wifi connection ... so good work all round.
