Who the f*** designed T5? What an absolute mess, badly designed.

Feels like a glorified shopping centre than a airport terminal.

Usually I retreat to wagamama until it's time.

It's in the Berlin Brandenburg category of airport fails, having exceeded the epic fail of even Berlin Schönefeld.

The Concorde Room for me, or First Lounge. other than that, don't venture out until your flight is called.

Also, they don't have any lounge in the C-section.

Which is where the money is for the airport operator, or at least it was when I was contracting for BAA in the late 90s.

It's all about retail spend and parking.

There's far worse out there. The lounges are nice, but if you're travelling pleb class, I admit it's not all that. Put it on expenses (difficult if your name is Scooty) and it's quite a pleasure, but otherwise it's a tad shambolic. The first time I travelled out of T5 was just after it opened, and it was a bit crap, but recently it's quite a lot better. T3 would be my choice, but you need to be going to the right place.

Word is that they got their BPM tool from an innovative Luton based outfit.

AFAIK Northolt only has one terminal. What am I missing?

Unfortunately you generally need to be a member of a certain German family to fly from Northolt...
