That's the best summation...
...of Gatwick and Stansted I think I've ever read! Hopefully, Virgin Airways will make the investment into Gatwick and make it its hub (like British Airways did for Heathrow Terminal 5). Then, Maybe Gatwick will have a fighting chance. Stansted, on the other hand has Ryanair and EasyJet. Oh dear...

Heathrow's problem is not terminals, it's lack of runways and other space
I mean, 1-3 aren't excatly salubrious, but these days I don't use it unless it's unavoidable simply becuase nothing except intercontinental is ever on time. Too many planes and not enough runways. All the Gordon Ramsay in the world in T5 doesn't change the fact that the thing I want most from a plane is to be on fucking time.
