Todays useless bit of information is that it's 809m terminal to terminal, plus allowances for escalators.
My best time for 800 meters was 2 minutes and 41 seconds.
Joking aside, it must be hard for the less mobile, some people would take at least 20 minutes. I hope T5 has a good system with electric cars for the less mobile when the trains are not working.
Mind you T5 has it good, it is at T2 where the real mess is, either you walk or ask for mobility assistance, no trains there, and don't get me started with IST!
At least you don't need gym membership if you use IST a lot.
