Oh Gate A10. How I hate thee.

10/12/2015 by Kevincm

With apologies to Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18 – Shall I compare thee to a summers day?

Oh Gate A10 in Heathrow Terminal 5.

Shall I compare thee to a summers day?

Or shall I compare thee to the third ring of hell, where souls are packed tightly into buses in the vague hope they will be going somewhere?

Shall I compare these to unorganised human mess as opposed to order and jetbridges that are above thee?

Yes, Gate A10. I compare to various things I’d like to write, but alas – I do not wish to offend my audience. Least of all their fragile minds may break if I use potty words to describe A10.

Gate A10. Thy existence annoys the heck out of me and shows that the UK can’t plan anything to save thy ass. And no A10, the existence of another runway wouldn’t fix the mess of A10

Oh Gate A10. May our paths never cross again.

Although… knowing my luck, I will see thee again in March.

Oh Gate A10. No words can express what I truly think of thee.

    Best thing I’ve read all day!
    Last time I was at A10 was heading to a 777-300 for a flight to Rio, so a lot of buses needed and a very prolonged boarding process.
    I thought we were planning on driving the whole way to Rio at one point to a plane parked out as far beyond C gates as I think you could get!

    At least I didn’t have a bus to the airport! Sofitel T5 is your friend:)

        I like ramp tours too. Alas, Heathrow airport ones include being squished in like a sardine in a can….
