With the controversial Heathrow Terminal 5 getting ready to hit the spotlight, the question on the minds of thousands of travelers is: What actually makes a good airport?
BBC thinks it is the following five attributes:
- Signage
- Building design
- Transport links
- No queues
- Retail
In general, people are skeptical that Heathrow will ever be able to accomplish all of those (even with the $8.5 billion Terminal 5). The model airport? Simon Calder, Independent’s travel editor, says: Marseilles.
