RE the Airport Layout!
You ask any memeber of staff who works at NCL airport their opinion?
BA currently use 757 a/c on the LHR shuttle, unfortunatly a 757 is to big to fit on the domestic peir..... so! we have to walk our 180 passengers from the international peir, through 1 small dorr about the same size as your front door... into a packed corridor of easyjet passengers about 3ft wide.... bearing in mind all the "Arriving passengers" signs point the wrong way (from the old days when we cud mix inbound and outbound passengers)
ITS A JOKE!!! COME ON!!! its supposed to be an international airport for god sake! we get loads of complaints about this, passengers end up all over the airport if they miss this TINY door! we dont have enough gates for out flights, soe gates hold 2 full flights as the a/c share the gate.... Eg.... gate 15 shares stands 6 and 7.... so you can have a packed KLM and an Easyjet flight with a total of 250 pax in a gate that holds about 150!
If anyone from NCL airport is reading this GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!! ITS A MESS..... trying asking the staff who work on the gates what they think... instead of just doin it and telling us this is how it is! How i long to work in a proper airport!
