J1J a couple of pages back says that when Hong Kong's new airport opened there weren't such problems as with LHR T5. Sorry, but that simply ain't true: there were significant problems on gate allocations and other passenger issues - which were sorted out after a couple of days - but humungeous problems on cargo handling which took more than a couple of weeks to fix and cost massive losses for cargo owners. There was a public enquiry and heads rolled. (Wonder if you guys back in DOB will be afforded that privilege: will Gordon Mugabe allow it?).
Can't help observing that Shanghai opened a new terminal a couple of days ago and are doing it in BITE SIZED CHUNKS. Did BA really have to move so much over in one go?
P.S. Why do all these new terminals look the same?
