generally yes but you'd be amazed how many offices you visit are actually "in the backwoods" often near a Ryanair airport - people are always looking to cut costs on office space

And they fly to a hell of a lot of places no-one else does - some places it would take 2 changes from LHR and others means hiring a car and a couple of hours drive or more
Always love hearing of the well HQs are based closer to Heathrow idea....

Large US company I know used to think that until they sending their people to the production facilities in Spain / Italy / Germany / France and Poland.

Fly from Stansted they leave same time as getting to LHR and arrive within 20km of site they need to visit, no flights from LHR to the airports so a change needed.

Losing BA airmiles was a negative for most until a single night away became norm instead of minimum 2 and over the last 6 years the number of lates and cancellations was an exception rather than norm.

Company put on Exec car to mollify people travelling to Stansted which means they get picked up from home a lot and dropped back later. Losing Airmiles to the getting there and back quickly is not comparable. The travel budget is apparently 50% of what it was yet they travel more because reduced away from homes.

I know of few people who travel who delight being away from home for more than a night..
