Flew in and out of Terminal 5 at heathrow this week. Don't know what all the fuss is about. Checked in on line. Took 1 bag into aircraft. Only problem is i forgot about the 100ml rule for toiletries. Had to throw allot out before security. Baggage screening was 5 mins. No queue, but funny has hell watching the shock on an Italians face as his sunglasses vanished into the x-ray machine. You get a plastic tray delivered by machine at the start of process, you fill it up, it goes through machine, you take stuff out and the plastic tray drops onto a lower belt to be delivered back to the start. The Italian wasn't quick enough and his sunglasses went with the tray! Funny as heck. After that it was a quick sandwich and a leisurely walk to gate. Thing to watch out for is there are no departure announcements so you have to keep an eye on the monitors. All in all. Good experience. There are still bits and pieces to be finished off, but when they finish it i think it will be a great terminal.
