You can spend many hours at Heathrow waiting for someone to show up. And that's if they are arriving on a flight.
FWIW, the UK is full of disused airports. Like if you search Google Maps for the nearest airport thinking "I'll have my jet pick me up there" it's probably now an industrial park built on top of a crumbling WWII airstrip. They built a lot of airstrips during the war, so the Luftwaffe couldn't bomb them all.
- Gordonjcp 4y agoA chunk of the M8 motorway just west of Glasgow runs along what used to be the runway of the old Renfrew Airport. It was only open for 12 years and sat derelict after closing in 1966 for about another ten years. A bit of a shame really because it really was a stunning building. https://www.glasgowarchitecture.co.uk/renfrew-airport https://www.glasgowarchitecture.co.uk/renfrew-airport
