Advantages: 5 Terminal, upward to 1000 flights a day

Disadvantages: Baggage trouble

Heathrow airport is the largest airport in the world, and not just by size, but also by the amount of passengers it has through their doors every years, and we are talking millions upon millions. There are hundreds, in fact closer to 1000 flights coming in and going out of this airport, and I dont think that there is a country nor city in the world that you cant get to from Heathrow. London is one of the biggest cities in the world, and so needs a big airport. It is proven that at least one person of every nationality comes through their doors every year.


There are five terminals now, with one being recently added, and we all heard about the hassle when it opened, including the new baggage system crashing. It is a huge airport, filled with shops that you can spend your holiday money in. One thing I can say about the airport, which is a good thing, it the security. There is no way you could get any harmful item through their secruity checkpoint. I mean, even if you have a metal plate in your body, the alarms with ring and all hell breaks loose, and before you know it, you have 10 guards storming towards you. I havent been in the new termianl 5 yet, but it is supposed to be the best one out of the five, which is saying something as all of the others are at the top of their class. A great airport, in a fantastic city, in an amazing country.

Summary: Go for it
