Mind as a self confessed piece of SLF I always refer to "Heathrow" "Gatwick" or "Luton" and never prefix them with "London" ( mond you if I did say to my wife "I'm off to London Airport" she may look at me quizzically for my quaint way of speaking - but she would assume Heathrow...

That Luton Airport programme, recently on Sky3, cracks me up, it's London-Luton this, London-Luton that, never Luton but always London-Luton but when they're moving pax by surface, or accepting diversions, those are to/ from Stansted, not London-Stansted!

Phileas Fogg; Sir
Some years ago a snack company with the same name as you used to manufacture some very nice Tortilla snacks. Not the over flavoured rubbish now comonly available.
Whatever happened to Phileas Fogg Tortilla snacks?
This might seem like thread creep but it is a History and Nostalgia thread!

Wasn't Bournemouth considered London during its phase as the only intercontinental airport in the uk in 1944, and for a couple of years thereafter? 
Surely the only real London airport is EGLC. But anything within 30miles seems to be the accepted (EGLL,EGGW,EGSS,EGMC,EGKK) all within 1 hour journey time by train. (Sorry London Ashford you don't fit either criteria)
