I guess there will probably be special discount arrangements for airport

IOW, "stuff the passengers" - the air passengers, that is.

An awful lot of people work at big airports. Cheap season tickets but
expensive normal fares could be a way of getting the airport staff to
use the trains.
That surely has to be the intention.
One of the busiest stations on the Piccadilly Line is Hatton Cross,
which serves the maintenance area to the East of the airport, adjacent
to the A30. Huge numbers of people get on and off Piccadilly Line
services here, and the assumption must be that they are airport
workers.
Figures are probably available from the BAA policy document on
transport links to Heathrow Airport. This used to be a .pdf document,
downloadable from the BAA web site.
