silicon.com has been given an exclusive behind the scenes look at BAA's brand new Terminal 5 (T5) at Heathrow ahead of its official opening for British Airways (BA) flights on 27 March.
This is one of the 96 bag drop points air travellers will be using when they pass through the terminal.
The desk includes a phone connected to the terminal's high capacity IP network and a barcode scanner to register boarding passes. For security purposes, the screen can only be viewed when you are directly in front of it.
