A PR stunt that's been going on for 5 years and this is the first mention of it? Heathrow is generally a pretty miserable flying experience but you'd think that they'd be able to get it in the press a little sooner if it was just PR.
- Osmium 13y ago> Heathrow is generally a pretty miserable flying experience Am I the only one who (so far!) hasn't had any issues with Heathrow? Every single time I've been it's gone smoothly and on time. Last time I went through there wasn't even a queue at passport control(!) I just thought it better to speak up because otherwise there's a bias with only people who have complaints commenting :) Good on them for doing this for this kid though. Definitely not just a PR stunt if it's been going on for 5 years...
- altero 13y agoLet me guess: usually travels alone with just cabin luggage. No children or friend who needs assistance. Most 'dangerous item' is laptop. Always has a return ticket. Never visited Belarus, Iraq or other 'dangerous' country. Does not work with chemicals or other 'dangerous' items which leaves traces.
- Osmium 13y agoEdit: Actually, I've decided I'd rather not share random details about myself with someone I don't know on the internet, but needless to say about 50% of your assumptions are incorrect. And even if they weren't, I'm not arguing with nor excusing anyone else's experiences, just providing a counterpoint that not all experiences with Heathrow have been bad.
- altero 13y agoSorry, that might sound sharper than I intended.
