Speaking of airports, the opening of Heathrow Terminal 5[1] was not without problems.. On the day of opening it quickly became apparent that the new terminal was not operating smoothly, and British Airways cancelled 34 flights and was later forced to suspend baggage check-in. Over the following 10 days some 42,000 bags failed to travel with their owners, and over 500 flights were cancelled. Of course, Berlin's new airport[2] is in another league: Originally planned to be opened in 2010, Berlin Brandenburg Airport has encountered a series of delays due to poor construction planning, management and execution. [...] any dates prior to late 2016 are considered unlikely. Originally budgeted at €2.8 billion, already in 2012 that number had increased to €4.3 billion.
