I dropped my other half at T4 this morning at 5ish, I did wonder what the super-tent was all about but presumed there was just another strike on somewhere.
I have to say that as an infrequent flyer I was quite shocked at what a total cack hole the place was, as Britain's flagship airport and the national carrier's shop front the place was a total disgrace.
The toilets were full and overflowing, some staff gave misleading information and were generally unhelpful (some were the opposite but were in a minority) and the place just felt run down and shabby, not to mention the fact that the place was full of people which is never a good thing at that time of the morning.
Glad it wasn't me flying today.
