In to Terminal 4 five minutes ahead of schedule, with 75 minutes to catch the next flight. And then we sit on the tarmac for a leisurely 30-minute wait for the gate. I need to get to Terminal 5 for the next leg and after 15 or 20 miles of moving sidewalks I reach the platform for the shuttle to Terminal 5, board the coach and amble through and under the airport through tunnels and across vast fields of concrete for 18 minutes (they even showed an on-bus sercurity short) to the all new Terminal 5, which I figure must be located somewhere near Greenwich. Then it's just a quick mad scramble to the gate to ensure I've missed my Athens flight and a relaxing 20-minute wait to be re-booked through Frankfurt on a British Airways flight that should get me to Athens by 10 pm tonight instead of 5.40.
