New Heathrow terminal puts emphasis on check-in speed

Airport operator BAA and Heathrow’s biggest airline – British Airways – both hope that the new £4.3bn (€5.6bn) Terminal 5 (T5) will be the dream facility to end the nightmare that the airport can become at times for passengers.

T5 is linked to both the Tube’s Piccadilly line and to the Heathrow Express main line services.
