Beijing, China has opened up its latest airport wing, Terminal 3, at its existing airport to the world aviation today.
The Terminal 3 received its first commercial flight from a local destination.
The size of this Terminal 3 alone is bigger than London's Heathrow Airport's 5 terminals being put together. Its length is 3 kilometres. With the operation of this new terminal, it's supposed to serve 85 million passengers.

This really dwarfs the KLIA, which is really no big deal. I went there to catch a flight early one morning, arriving before 5 am and every available seat was occupied by sleeping immigrant workers! Some of them were occupying 3 to 4 seats each, lying down flat across! What a shame for an airport that is supposedly of world standard!
yeah, saw the same thing. klia has contracts with only 50 airlines flying into it.
wherelse dubai airport has about 120 airlines flying in and that's really traffic. singapore airport has more than double of ours too.
i cannot comprehend the idea of airasia / other low cost carrier moving out of klia which made klia even more deserted now.
