YVR flights moving to T1 from T4..
Should I be happy or sad? After years of "coming home" to Blighty via T4, I've got mixed feelings about the move. Certainly, onward flights to MAN and DUB will be easier and I won't miss the T4 Baggage Hall one bit
... but maybe this is all academic as everything will move to T5 next year anyway???Anyone have any thoughts? (rude or otherwise..)

Yeah, I thought about that. But how does the First Lounge in T1 compare to CR? This news comes at a bad time for me as I am still devastated at not being able to attend the Happy Happy Happy Do on Thursday....
And btw JCS, this change is effective June 1st apparently so fill ya boots in CR!

.Looking forward to a couple of visits (at least two or three) to the T1 Terraces before the move to T5.
That the change is coming on 01 June is a bit
though, as I have to go from T1 to T4 on 02 June to catch KLM to AMS-RIX. Ah well, a chance to say adieu, T4.

FWIW these days 
Frankly, the only difference between the CR and T4 F lounges for me are the serviced bar and more space in the former...both of which T1's F lounge delivers (usually). Throw in Zone R and you can give me T1 over T4 any day ^
No...you will be moaning about the walks from the furthest T1 gates instead I landed at gate 40-something (43?) the other day and it's a hike to rival Victor in my mind Not sure the 744s use any of those gates though, can't remember. Mind you, I can certainly confirm they do sometimes use the 'after that bloody stupid second security check because BAA can't properly separate arriving and departing pax despite trying to build channels to do so for 300 years' gates in T1 which are also a pain. Err, what am I saying? I think, frankly, that there's no good terminal at LHR (yet) 
On balance though, T1 over T4, thanks.

Mixed feelings. I know T4 so well it will seem odd not to arrive there, although I will NOT miss the walk of shame that is Victor Pier, nor will I miss the baggage hall .
Looking forward to a couple of visits (at least two or three) to the T1 Terraces before the move to T5.
