BMA to LHR

That is good news - although recently my opinion is that the times are not great for Joe Public. I experienced this problem first hand when I flew to Montreal in March with Air Canada and had the option of adding on domestic flights to Heathrow for £90 each. The problem was, the afternoon flight was too late so we would have had to get the morning flight which would have meant around a 12 hour wait in LHR!!! Coming back we would only have had 55 minutes to connect to the morning back to MME and the booking agent wouldn't allow it with a terminal change so we would have had something close to a 15 hour layover in LHR coming back off a red-eye!

Needless to say I drove and got some cheap car parking online 5 miles from LHR. Such a shame as I would have preferred to fly, but would not have waited for those lengths of time...it's not as if the transatlantic flight arrived at a different time to others either!!!
