Everything was fine
Nice airport
No drinking water stand pipe.
outstanding - No comment
No issues
Excellent
Did not have any problem
So far between arrivals gates and passport control - difficult for older passengers not requiring assistance
T3 is not as nice and modern as the other LHR Terminals
Heathrow duty free shops are the best and cheapest comparing to other duty free around the world. I have travelled many countries and love shopping. Heathrow is by far has the cheapest duty free. All Gulf countries like Dubai, Oman and Bahrain have over priced duty free.
Never used Heathrow...wont again
forcing people to walk in circles through the shops on your way to the plane is not right. you have to fight through people standing around shopping when you're in a hurry to catch your flight.
Very easy transfer well sign posted
Swift quick overall all formalities done in 30 minutes
Easy to get around
Too far
Good but dissatisfaction on luggage issue
The Dubai airports clean and Morden but such a rush and distant between flight access
Airport was fine
Very busy
Good but needs more restaurant choice and space.
Duty free white wine selection is appealing, no Sauvignon Blanc which is a very popular. Mainly Red wines on sale. Used to be much better.
Tired and lacking seating for waiting passenger pre check-in
Bad experienced
You now have to pay to be picked up and the pick up point is badly sign posted. You now get picked up from the short stay car park.
