The much awaited opening of Heathrow's new Terminal 5, did not go as smoothly as hoped
The problems seemed to stem from a breakdown in the much heralded state of the art baggage system.
By 5pm the baggage check in, had completely broken down.This caused 35 outgoing and 28 incoming flights to be cancelled.
The new Terminal looks fantastic and feels nice and open and spacious.I love a little touch in the car park. When driving around and looking for a space, just look for a green light in the roof. All the bays have a little light above them that glow green when a bay if available.It Saves all that driving around and looking for a bay.
Hopefully the first day glitches will pass and the Terminal will soon be running as planed.
We look forward to welcoming you to the new Terminal.Whatever happens air side, we will make sure, your Car Rental pick up is smooth, quick and completely hassle free.
