No one here has said that "I hate London" but Ill take it as a reflection of whats going on in your mind.

The reality is that this event was billed as the one BIG event in the history of what is universally regarded now as one of the worst airports in the world (excluding some in third world countries) to drag it back into the fold as a decent place to transit through.

It failed.

It was just a new terminal. Hong Kong was a whole new airport miles away from its old one (Ive used both) built on a island reclaimed from the sea so if any airport was going to have problems, Hong Kong would be it.

LHR T5 was built attached to 4 existing terminals of an awful airport and was billed, if we are to believe English press releases/propaganda, to be a first class terminal with great service that was to sweep away all those bad memories of Heafrow.

It didnt. It was a failure.

Maybe the problem was: that it was attached to four terminals of one of the worlds worst airports.

I wonder just how lucky (unlucky) one would have to be to travel through T5 instead of the other equally awful four terminals.

Nuff said.
