BA may have embarked on an advertising campaign to remind folk that T5 is "working", but what's a much better way of getting people to forget said terminal's troubled birth? Show them that it's by far the only problematic part of Heathrow. Last night some 3,000 people were embroiled in chaos at Terminal 3, as a computer glitch resulted in two cancelled flights, several more delayed, and disruption to thousands of travellers. People were......

It's no secret that the opening of Heathrow's Terminal 5 wasn't the greatest success in British aviation history. The words "pissup", "brewery" and "couldn't organise a" were very much to mind as the umpteen-billion pound Richard Rogers-designed structure conspired to lose thousands of bags and strand countless passengers (including that nice Naomi Campbell, no less) when the ribbon was officially cut in March. With things having settled into some semblance of order, top brass......

T5 - the new Terminator sequel in which desperate humans do battle with out-of-control machines at Heathrow Airport. The sorry debacle is now enshrined in song, courtesy of Tom Soong, who wanted revenge on BA for losing his wedding clothes days before the ceremony. Warning - contains an image of an ass.......

More T5 woe: BA postpones long-haul move Still, at least homeless folk are being helped out by the Heathrow chaos Cops to be electronically tagged; just like the crims, then, eh? Strike saga stumbles on - tube workers votes for industrial action Working for Lambeth PCT doesn't sound much fun Image courtesy of [windscreenfly.com]'s Flickrstream via the Londonist flickr group.......

It's not often we sympathise with stroppy supermodels, but we actually feel some sympathy for Naomi Campbell today. She's been released on bail after being arrested yesterday at Heathrow after an alleged incident at Terminal 5. Apparently, she checked two bags in at Terminal 5 when she checked in for her flight to LA. Once she boarded the plane, she was told one of her bags had gone missing. According to her spokesperson, BA......

Honestly, did you really ever expect to see that headline? This is what London does better than anybody: ballsing up big civic projects. Think of the Dome, or the Millennium Bridge. It wouldn't be a proper London opening if chaos and confusion weren't part of the mix. Despite all the test runs, T5's first day of operational use quickly turned into a farce. Early teething troubles with the baggage system meant the entire system......

Her Maj has cut the ribbon on Heathrow's Terminal 5. The £4.3 billion node, designed by Richard Rogers, opens for non-Royal business on 27 March. The BBC has all the facts and figures you could ever need. Rather than repeat them, with added quips, we'll simply point you in the direction of our sneak preview and leave you with a few images of this immense addition to London's international transport network.......

This Londonista popped to Terminal 5 at Heathrow - due to open in a month's time - and live-blogged about it: It's 7.35am on a grey Saturday morning, and I'm on the piccadilly line. Sure - there are better things to do with my time, but I'm off to be a fake passenger and so to have a nosey around a new iconic building that swishly calls itself 'T5'. It's almost an airport in......

Ahead of the opening of Terminal 5, Heathrow is trialling biometric security checks with passengers who transfer onto domestic flights from Terminal 1. According to BAA, the airport operator, the added checks are needed because international and domestic transfer passengers go through the same areas. Should you happen to be transferring onto a domestic flight through Terminal 1 between now and March 27 when Terminal 5 opens, and agree to having your photograph and......

Urban decay is on its way: ‘pashmina-wrapped lemmings’ are fleeing the ‘great termites nest’ that is London for the safety of the suburbs. We find ourselves alarmed not by stories of marauding youth but by metaphors run amok. 2012 British Olympians to enlist? No, but they may do a stint at an army base. After a little soul-searching, St Bart’s clears itself of wrongdoing in a security breach that left confidential medical records scattered......
