London Heathrow Airport LHR
London, United Kingdom · Large airport · ICAO EGLL
Europe's busiest airport by passenger numbers, operating two parallel runways at close to full capacity, which is why delays here propagate across the network. Terminal 5 is British Airways' base; Terminals 2, 3 and 4 host everyone else, and a T5-to-T2 connection involves a train.
