  Looking at Google Maps, it appears that the LGW Pier 6 expansion is already underway.

    Enabling works I believe with Mace responsible for the main obstruction when it starts.p

    Interesting aerial imagery though. Empty car parks and stored aircraft. Looks to be 5 years old.

    I went past this on a A350 back in January. I think I have a photo somewhere. It appeared to me as though they had actually removed half of the terminal building that previously occupied that site, which I found curious. I assumed they would have bolted on, rather than re-done entirely.

  When BA was in the North terminal I used to love using that bridge. Lots of extra steps before putting my bum to rest for a couple of hours.

  I wish LGW would spend some money refurbishing its existing terminals. The commercial areas are ok but walk to a gate or back from one and some areas are looking decidedly aged and many areas are literally held together with Duck tape. The South terminal extension that was built almost 50 years ago looks particularly bad. We were the only flight landing or departing this whole area at 7pm last Weds. It was like a ghost town.

  Is legoland there better than one in Windsor? In other words, why would I want to fly to Billund from London?

    Billund also has LEGO House, which has some /huge/ model towns, plenty of building opportunities and activities, and a Lego museum – it’s a whole day’s attraction in itself. For accommodation, check out Lalandia, which also has a huge (largely indoor) water park.

      Is it somewhere appropriate for adults to go without kids?

        Mmm

        The rides in Legoland are definitely mostly aimed at children, but you wouldn’t get any strange looks being there or at Lego House without.

    I took the family to Billund Legoland in October half term. While it was a little chilly and misty in the morning, the sun came out and the longest we had to wait for a ride was 6 minutes. We did absolutely everything multiple times.

    Billund doesn’t have a train station, so then got the bus to Vejle and then the train from there to Copenhagen to make it a Billund / Copenhagen double header. Would recommend.

  You should detail that with the new tier points system you get very little new tier points with Cathay (it is better to move to IB plus if you are flying them and other Asian airlines).

    True. Still need to get used to this!

  I remember flying to Billund when I was 8 years old. I vaguely recall being able to see some of LegoLand from the approach. I seem to recall the entrance to the park wasn’t far from the airport terminal either. That was some years ago though.

    I think in those days the flight was operated by Maersk. I kept the little butter pack that came with the meal, putting it in my pocket and then rediscovering it a day or two later….that was not a good idea!
