Two runways running flat out, Terminal 5 at the west end.

The layout
Heathrow works its two parallel runways, 09L/27R and 09R/27L, harder than any other airport works two runways. The terminals sit between them: Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 in the central area, Terminal 4 south of the southern runway, and Terminal 5, British Airways' home, at the western end. From above, the central terminal area is an island reached by tunnels, ringed by the taxiways that feed both runways.
The airport is capped at its current number of flights, so every slot is used and every minute matters.
