We took off on Sunday afternoon from Terminal 5 at Heathrow (yes it’s not in use yet). There was a problem with getting their plane to a Terminal 3 gate so they bussed us out, via some ellaborate air-side road tunnels under the airport, to where they were holding some Virgin Atlantic planes. As you will see from the photo the holding area itself is within the grounds of the brand new Terminal 5 comples.
