Interesting stuff Wolfy (well for you and me )

colin 244

[Tobias]

Good lord, I've been to all but 3 of those.

[caller]

Only 6 for me and none in europe or the US - which is good as I hate flying! The World has given its airports some terrible names!

[colin244]

5 for me and that includes LHR

colin 244

[Tang]

interesting, 8 from me and my favorite airport is Suvarnabhumi.

[Gavva]

5 for me, most recently Frankfurt and Heathrow (Heathrow said through gritted teeth as not exactly keen on it).

[Tobias]

Gavva, have you been through T5 at LHR? It's a really good terminal. I'm going through T1 this morning - horrid! T3 isn't much better either.

[colin244]

Most of us going out of LHR have to use T3 Tobias as TG & EVA fly from there.

colin 244

[Tobias]

TG & EVA fly from there.

I'm aware of that, so do BA flights to BKK. Still doesn't change the fact that T5 is a very good terminal

[colin244]

Depends where your going and who with I suppose but for a lot on here T3 with no choice.

colin 244

[Gary & Nok]

T3 is OK. Can't say that is anything special but can't think I have had any real bad experience there. That's not to say that some things could be improved but then I expect that could be said of a lot of places.

[Gavva]

I usually fly to Thailand from Brum but there seem to be considerable price differences at the moment, Heathrow being a much cheaper option. Despite the added pain in the nads of getting there etc Heathrow seems to be the way to go for me when I go back to Thailand (hopefully next year)

[Tang]

My flight with BA in October from LHR to BBK T3 and March 2013 with BA from LHR to Denver use T5 . Agree with colin 244 a lot of here use T3

[Tobias]

Depends where your going and who with ...

Get away?!

[Linne]

Good lord, I've been to all but 3 of those.

ok let me guess 19/20/30 ??

[Tobias]

ok let me guess 19/20/30 ??

Perhaps. Perhaps not. Let's have some fun. I'll put £5 in to the T-UK Charity fund for every Member who correctly guesses which 3 they are. You've got 7 days from today.

One guess per Member!

[Phetchy]

19. Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport


21. Shanghai Pudong International Airport


30. Atatürk International Airport

[Linne]

[Phetchy]
