Heathrow has exactly zero flights to Orlando[1], so that market is

catered for elsewhere (and rarely at a week's notice).

Clearly you had trouble understanding the "or wherever" phrase in the example.

And you appear to be having difficulty understanding that many other

resort destinations are also not served from Heathrow.

Oh. Well thanks for the heads up. Obviously the sort of planes used to fly

to resort destinations are completely different to planes that don't so

I guess that makes my example completely invalid , right?

They are likely to be slightly different in that they'll tend to have a
'charter' seating layout of mainly economy with poor seat pitch.

What's more important for the discussion today, however, is that there
won't be nearly as much "hubbing" going on for the passengers of such
planes, so a point-to-point airport is more appropriate.

Btw, DisneyLAND is in LA and I'm fairly sure there are flights to LA from

Heathrow unless you care to prove otherwise.

There are, but I've never heard of someone flying from the UK to
DisneyLAND. They all seem to head for Florida.
