a. Fail to interline your bag and then take 1hr to get it to the reclaim, so you miss your HK flight.
Bags can get lost at any hub airport. Are we not over T5 teething problems? Or are brand new airports (as opposed to
terminals) immune to such occurences?
Remember Denver?
b. Close the transit corridor at 23:00 so that you get stuck in a transit lounge deep inside the terminals, with locked doors all around.
Oh please! Can we focus on the day to day passenger experience, not some extreme case which is an operational matter anyway, nothing to do with the regular functionality of the airport.
15 daily commuter flights in from MAN and BPL
And a high speed train? The kind of high speed train link proposed to LHR will consist of 2x8 coach sets on an hourly rotation from Manchester Piccadilly and Leeds (join / split at Birmingham Parkway. Two rail coaches alone carry the equivalent of an A320. The link is likely to cost around £4bn - watch when it quietly gets cast aside.
Now your airport is the wrong side of London, so any long distance rail link is going to cost even more. And you want that
on top of 15 shuttle flights?
Manchester would be one thing, but Bole, Xingjiang?
Did you mean Blackpool? Far too thin, lost STN route yonks ago, direct train even further back.
Time to get real!
