Last Sunday I flew from San Jose, California to Düsseldorf, Germany and had a layover in Heathrow. Usually I don’t really pay much attention to airport terminal design, but despite all bad predictions, we managed to get our connection to Düsseldorf in time. First, because my girls and I ran all the way from the gate we landed to the next security check and second, because the plane was slightly delayed. And even though my little girls’ backpack got double check snail speed because she didn’t take out the iPad in the first place, we would have made it anyway. I still had time to get my “Starby” latte (that’s how my 12-year old calls it), watch a bit of the Wimbledon final live and check out my surroundings.
I looked up and appreciated the airport interior design of Terminal 5, Gate 9. I thought it’s a very cool and simple way to beautify a terminal ceiling.
