It seems some people lose the use of their legs once they arrive at an airport.
I wonder how many have flown through LHR T3, HKG, et al for fair comparison. It can take over 20 minutes to walk from, say, Gate 71 to Immigration at HKG.
I'm pretty familiar with HKG, you omit to mention the almost continuous walkways, escalators, lifts and shuttle train between gates along with golf cart buggies. These are rarely broken.
Many international long haul pax may have been travelling in excess of 20 hours, may have multiple kids, walking difficulties, along with their carry on etc.
The " hey up, oop north now, get walkin" view hardly reflects an international standard, merely suggests a lack of inspiration to be the best. It's grim up north seems to be the mantra.
Incidentally, I was not complaining but merely asking the question if more walkways were to be installed or was what provided "it" under the new refurb. Streuth so touchy you MAN fans that you can't even ask a question on here.
