London supremacy
In message , Adrian
writes Ian Jelf ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying : There was even a view in the eighties that BHX could have effectively become London's third airport. We had a local minicab back from Heathrow to Chorleywood a few weeks ago, and the driver was saying that more and more people are using Coventry. It is, apparently, the same distance from here as both Gatwick and Stansted, and tends to be cheaper fare, due to the traffic. It is - however- a *very* basic airport from the passengers' point of view, in no way comparable as an "experience" to Heathrow, Gatwick or indeed Birmingham. Of course I accept that the cost rather than other factors can sway people but having recently had to meet and despatch a group from Coventry Airport, I can't say I'd be queuing up to use it myself!
