Changi airport is amazing! My first long haul flight was from heathrow to Changi and I thought I'd landed in the future. Heathrow's an embarassment
It's a lovely airport to get stuck in. Free internet access, free vibrating chairs. Loads of room. Simple directions. Even decent food.
Not to mention the hotel and swimming pool on the roof
I've had decent food in Gatwick and Heathrow... But then I can't really say I go to airports for the food...

I watched a TV programme the other night about how futuristic the new terminal was and how super efficient it would be.
same as, and I suppose we can take comfort from Denver airport who spent a lot longer sorting their baggage problems out

and eating cucumber sandwiches?
Exactly
It's all quite reassuring, there's just an air of calmness about the whole thing

Passengers using the 'state of the art' £4billion terminal were a tad miffed to discover their bags didn't make it on to the flight
Have the airport staff being reading too many 'plane and conveyor belt' threads and put the plane on the conveyor and the baggage on the runway?

and the conveyor belt isn't even broken. Would be fun if that happened as well
I flew with BA for the first time in ages last month, I'd forgotton just how, well, British their pilots sound. You can picture them at the controls with a big handlebar 'tash and a bottle of Pimms
The collective nickname is the trade is "The (Flying) Nigels"
Yep - and I wonder if the open skies agreement will make this an even more a common practice
And having flown long haul with some of the US Airlines, I'd choose BA over them every time... imo anyhowI flew with BA for the first time in ages last month, I'd forgotton just how, well, British their pilots sound.

I'd say anyone who flies with BA deserves it. Arrogant shower of wankers
Oi!
I flew into Terminal 5 on Saturday. Despite the fact that I had too many toiletries to take my suitcase as hand luggage on the outward journey (day before T5 opened) there was no such problem at Belgrade, so I didn't have to worry about collecting luggage.
My fave bit is the passport control. they are all headed up UK BORDER which just tickles me. This notional line which until crossed I am in some sort of limboland.

I meant BA are an arrogant shower of wankers. They think they're superior and yet they're not even classed as a 5* airline.
But if you will travel with the European airline who loses the most luggage then
I thought BA said 40,000? And that the discrepancy is that the other 12.000 are now at other airports because T5 is out of space?
T5 is a bit pants. I flew out of there on Friday, still waiting for my luggage which I'm informed is at Heathrow and will be sent at some point. This is immensely useful, I have made sure I keep 'some point' free in my diary so I can receive it.
It's nice that it's big and airy with lots of light, but it crap that 99% of the shops are unhelpful stufff like Harrods, Cartier, Gordon bleedin' Ramsays. Very few normal places to eat food. There are two bars, both too small. Some of the gates are right in the middle of the shopping part which is annoying. And I dunno whether it was just 'cause it new or a permanent arrangement but they don't seem to tell you which gate to go to until half hour before the take-off, and some of the gates are 20 mins away.
Check in and security were very quick, but this may be because there seemed to be hardly anyone there. Or it maybe be because it's so big it seems that there was hardly anyone there. Or it maybe something else.

The gate I went to was a bit walking and a monorail thingymajig. Maybe 10 mins. Oh and that reminds me, at the gate how difficult would it be to put in enough chairs for the number of people that will be getting on the plane

I've heard T5 is sorely lacking in seating.
Probably don't want anyone having a kip when they're building a nice brand new hotel which will set you back a fortune

Yep, it's designed for the business and first classes, they don't give a shit about cattle class and that's why they'll never get the Top Airport award. Changi, Incheon, Hong Kong etc. will always beat them hands down
