Just shows how differently everyone feels.

We fly BA; still dislike the South terminal just as much as we did when the move happened; feels cramped & like a rabbit warren to us; much preferred the North layout & feel.

But, it is what it is.

Off we go again!

You got me worried then but I've double checked and all Virgin's flights fly in and out of the North terminal - phew!
