London Heathrow Terminal 1 is an airport terminal at London Heathrow Airport, serving the capital city of London, used primarily by British Airways and Star Alliance airlines. Terminal 1 was opened in 1968 and was formally opened by Queen Elizabeth II in May 1969. At the time Terminal 1 was the biggest short-haul terminal of its kind in Western Europe. In 2005, a substantial redesign and redevelopment of Terminal 1 was completed, which saw the opening of the new Eastern Extension, doubling the departure lounge in size and creating additional seating and retail space. Destinations from Terminal 1 include domestic airports, all Irish routes along with a wide range of European and long haul destinations.
