Passenger Air Bridge at Gatwick Airport

Every time I pass through Gatwick Airport, I hope to travel over this giant passenger bridge. I've never seen anything like it. It's huge.

The largest of its type in the world, the bridge links the 1980s-era North Terminal with Pier 6, added in 2005. Escalators ascend passengers to the height of the bridge, and travelators assist with movement across the bridge. The tremendous height is necessitated to allow aircraft tail fin to pass under the bridge.

Oh yeah, and that's the plane that took me to Barcelona last summer.
