Have you any idea of how many premium pax connect via London?
They do have a choice.
And that's the problem, a very profitable slice of the pie will evaporate.
Do transfer passengers have to check their laptops in when passing through London?
I have no idea, but I am not going to find out the hard way, which is why I'm not booking connecting flights through London presently, having just rescheduled using FRA, FCO and ZRH.
Whilst this
PR disaster is being broadcast all over the world, expect the same response from many, many, other premium pax.
