T5 is open!
Sitting in the new Concorde Room. I have to say it is impressive but the champagne is not yet on ice. Have been given gifts by the extremely friendly staff and I can assure you BA must have cancelled all leave for their senior management.
No-one at first check-in, however, but spotted by a manager who escorted me to a desk elsewhere and waited with me until I had been checked in and then escorted me to security.
If you're travelling today, walk through South Security and you can go straight in to the new Concorde Room - I doubt they'll mind if you're Gold as it's the first day and everyone is excited...
The lounges, I have to say, are beautiful and stunning. What they'll be like with lots of passengers it's difficult to say and of course, I am sorry to report the champagne is Heid..sick and Jacquard in First and Heid-sick and Lanson (aaaaghhh...) in CR.
All in all - if the staff were to keep up today's start - it will be a very, very impressive start to a BA journey. Wait and see...
