Grrr

The words 'favourite & 'airport' should never be used together.

In the 1950' and 60's, flying was only for the elite. The likes of Courtline made flying abroad for the masses possible in the 70's.

Now with Stelios and MOL, flying is for everyone, so airports are now just glorified bus stations and no longer places not for the 'elite' to be cosseted in, but venues for a quick pint and sarnie then a cheap flight to wherever?
