- The South Terminal has better and bigger shops.
- Less walking to the gate (the trek to the 100s gates, across the silly bridge, is a huge waste of time)
- An opportunity to build a new lounge.
I totally agree. I haven't exactly been enamoured by the ill considered improvements the new owner has implemented at the North Terminal.
- stupid passenger drop off half a mile away from the terminal door with the world's slowest inclined travelator its quicker to walk through the car park to get from the kerb to the door
- absolutely appalling wayfinding signage that's hugely oversized and suffers from bad sight lines
- Gate 52 - just awful
- Mixed international and domestic streams through Gate 55. I recently has to wait over 20 minutes to get off the airbridge because of poor gate management by GAL
BA staff are without question BA's best asset, whom I am confident will continue to serve BA customers very well irrespective of which terminal BA uses at LGW
