Heathrow is not easy to get to, but this is a very pessimistic view, and
a not very optimal way to travel if you are on business. For leisure
purposes time doesn't matter so much, of course.


When I'm on holiday, time matters far *more* than when I'm working.
That's because when I'm on holiday it's *my* time, whereas when I'm
working it's mty *employer's* time.

However, comfort and sanity are also very important, which is why I
refuse to fly for short journeys. And I consider journeys to, say,
Vienna or Rome to be short.
