BEagle,
Car park for Term 1 is right next to it, 2 of 'em!
ALL airports are absolute poooh, without exception! The closest I have come to anything aproaching a decent expereince is Bristol. A little further than LHR for me but so much quieter and far less queuing.
Still loads of waiting around, standing in lounges, standing on buses, standing around waiting to file up aircraft steps though.
Then there's squeezing onto ridiculous aircraft like the Fokker 50 that are just too small to be anything other than uncomfortable.
I travel extensively and it's all a load of pooh, Europe, the US, the Far East, they all are a grinding waste of time!
Roll on teletransportation!
