T5 was designed to provide a calm experience for customers and put them back in control of their travel, thanks to the technology and flexible design of the building.

Arrival at Stratford On arrival we made our way to a special BA Lounge where you collect your tickets. The instructions they had sent were overly complex and we struggled to find it. All they needed to say was that you leave the station, turn left and it is there! Inside was a very cool layout with Union Ja…
