Anyone used Northolt? Meant to be very good.
Heathrow is a hole. Just glad I don't have to use it very often any more. Admittedly, I always seemed to be going out of T2 (the worst)
The best thing you can say about Heathrow, is that it isn't Luton airport.
I still like LCY - you can land and be on DLR in under 10 minutes. It's a proper airport, not a shopping mall that just happens to have a terminal next to it.Comment

Originally posted by Cyberman View PostI go along with it as long as they now drop those 'dishonest' carbon taxes of 150 quid on long-haul and 45 quid short-haul, because they are now exposed as previously thought anyway, as an opportunistic stealth tax. This tax will deter people from using Heathrow, so there is a conflict here if HMG expect more passengers to use this airport !!Comment

I don't think it unreasonable to have to pay a tax to fly somewhere, it's still a small fraction of the tax that I have to pay to drive somewhere.

breaking news (excuse the pun).
...three women wearing red sashes hurled bricks at the doors of the Westminster building at 4am.
The bricks were wrapped in notes that read: "No third runway, the Suffra-jets are back," they said.
Older and ...well, just older!!Comment
