Heathrow,Terminal 2,The Queen's Terminal

Heathrow Terminal 2, also known as The Queen's Terminal, opened in 2014 at a cost of £2.3 billion. It is split into terminals A and 2B and is home to Star Alliance and other airlines. The terminal offers various lounges for different airlines. The author arrives at Terminal 5 and transfers to Terminal 2 for a connecting flight. Despite the early hour, the terminal is almost empty, with no queues at immigration.

Heathrow Terminal 2 opened in 2014 at a cost of £2.3 billion and is known as The Queen’s Terminal because it occupies the site of the old Queen’s Building as well as the decrepit old Terminal 2 . The building is split into terminals A and 2B and is home to Star Alliance and other airlines such as China Air. Lufthansa and Plaza Premium have lounges in the main terminal, while Air Canada, Singapore Airlines, Aer Lingus and United Airlines’ lounges are in the satellite buildings.

As I’m in transit, but don’t have a boarding pass, I’m directed to an easy-to-find SAS self-check-in kiosk immediately after the security line. It takes me less than a minute to get my pass. There are also airline representatives at counters around the corner if I need extra help, although SAS isn’t manned at that hour.For a small terminal, there are plenty of good choices for places to have breakfast.
