Default OT - BA postpones long-haul move to T5

Sixty arrivals and 60 departures per day were due to be moved."


Oh dear there's currently a minimum connection time of 1 hour for BA
flights, having to transfer from terminal 4 to terminal 5 has blown
that. This is going to add several hours to many BA journeys.


Eh? Pre-T5, nearly all BA short-haul went out of T1 and nearly all
long-haul went out of T4.

Until June, nearly all short-haul will go out of T5 and nearly all
long-haul will go out of T4.

That's *exactly the same as it's been for the last 15 years*. It just
hasn't got better quite as soon as it was supposed to...
