As I type this I am in LHR's Terminal 5 for the first time.

As opposed to a small, cramped shopping centre which is what the rest of them feel like?

I'm struggling to think of an airport that is any better, certainly in terms of the time it takes to get through check in and security it is excellent.

Hong Kong is good once you clear passport control, but that bit is a nightmare. And JFK immigration is now very quick with their new system.

The terminal I use at Arlanda when I’m flying to Heathrow has a duty free and about four other shops. Bit of a stretch calling that a shopping centre. Terminal 5 has about 60 shops. It being fairly easy to get through check in and security wasn’t really up for debate.

Personally I hate it. I hate flying as it is and having to navigate my way past thousands of arseholes diving in and out of said shops before I even get on to the plane makes the whole experience a living nightmare.
