Commissioned by the owner of Heathrow, Alain de Botton spends a week as Writer in Residence in the newly completed Terminal 5. From the British Airways pilot he talks to who is still in awe of how planes defy their size as they soar into the sky, to the passengers he observes in the first class lounge, reading his diary evokes that altered state that airports still create in most of us.
