Does the majority of pax not stay in the shopping and retail area until flight is called? Pax are like vultures, hovering around the departure board waiting for the gate to be announced and then rush.....lets queue up at the gate
Recently flying from LHR to USA, terminal three........yes the vultures are there as well.....then the long walk to the gate......and nothing there, cannot even get a cup of coffee. At least BFS has a Cafe / Bar
Yes it would be nice to see more retail IN THE MAIN AREA, but you only go to International pier when your flight is called
