With pre clearance that number could well increase further as LHR would become Europe’s main entry point to the US. A dedicated terminal with all the facilities of T5/T3 would produce a great experience and hugely enhance LHRs competitive wpedge against CDG, AMS ans FRA/MUN
Humm, but just think of the impact that would have for members of this board unable to visit the Cathay and Qantas lounges which would no doubt close.
