Sparkling London Heathrow Terminal 5<\/strong><\/p>\n When London Heathrow proudly opened it\u2019s brand new terminal in 2008, passengers flying to London or returning home didn\u2019t know how lucky they were.

Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n Accessibility<\/strong>: Getting to Heathrow is a breeze regardless of which terminal you\u2019re flying from.
