Most C, J and F class pax check-in online, travel with little
luggage and go straight to the lounge, so they're not visible for
long (though that can be a bit of hike in LHR T5, as you have to
come down and then go up again after going through security -- they
don't want you to bypass the shops). And most no longer wear suits
to fly.

And, of course, many/most Y class LHR pax are also travelling on
business, specially on the European routes (leisure pax take a more
convenient, cheaper flight from their local airport). You don't see
many families in LHR, except those travelling on long-haul routes
which only fly from Heathrow.

Huh? That would be why my family travelled out and in through Heathrow at
Christmas then?


Agreed - Recliner's picture of a family-free Heathrow is not one I
recognise either.
