None of these airports (Heathrow T5, HK, etc...) look like much to me, architecturally. Large glass boxes with visible, sometimes curved steel beams. Yawn.

Not very humane. Amogn modenr airports, the (smaller) Tenerife North airport (not the crappy old south one) is quite nice, a lot og nice wood detail in a thoroughly modenr building.

Had to fly through T4 the other day... it's half empty (more like 2/3rds) due to BA decamping to T5 and I still had to sit in the goshdarned plane for 25 mins waiting for parking space.

Gotta say, if the UK was all like Heathrow, I'd have to be in agreement with Tenebaum's spewing. I've got it!!! Greg was stuck once at Heathrow like the guy in the movie "The Termianl".....no wonder he hates Britain!!

I loved the surreal dig about bad food in London...

As we say in Italy: "from what pulpit doth the sermon issue?"
