Default Public Transport to Heathrow

James Farrar remarked:
Surely the world's busiest airport has a site that tells me how to
get from Watford to Heathrow.


It's not the world's busiest airport, that's Atlanta, followed by
Chicago. LHR has more passengers at its international terminals than
any other airport [has at its international terminals], which is the
basis of their rather dodgy claim.


I thought the basis of its claim was that it has the greatest number of
journeys starting and ending, whilst a significant proportion of
Hartsfield-Jackson's passengers are merely in transit.


No, it's purely the numbers of passengers taking international flights
(a majority at LHR, a minority at ATL).
