No chance. BAA makes a big chunk of its profits from the retailers who pay through the nose for a captive market (i.e. the departure area of a major airport).

Now, I'll have to join the myriad of gurning travesties that seem to pack their entire houses, including the madatory suitcase full of Heinz Baked Beans just in case the local food is a little spicy (the dirty, dirty bastards), fighting to the death for luggage carousel space while avoiding the lawsuit as the feckless parents, who seem to think that a luggage carousel is a State provided playground for their kids, complain that little Jimmy is lying on the other side of the room with a dislocated jaw because I was lifting a heavy suitcase off the carousel and he happened to be sitting on it at the time.
And breath.....If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment
