On the basis that Bank is probably a convenient station for most people to
change to the DLR, it looks like a hell of a schlep to get to LCA.

Why? The direct service is 22 minutes (no changing).

I think I'll still avoid it, and use Gatwick or Heathrow.

You can get from Bank to Gatwick or Heathrow in less than 22 minutes?

Even without the DLR connection the experience of using LCY is so much
more civilised than any of the other airports.

I like airports. I find LCY a tad dull.

I think airports are fascinating from an operational viewpoint. I hate
using them though as they are so inefficient in terms of the passengers
time - unless you run everything to the wire in terms of check in etc.

Ah ok. I like being able to walk from the plane to the exit of the airport in less
than five minutes.

Agreed, in spades. Plus, the view as you take off over the docks and
circle over London at low level is quite stunning.

I know someone whos an air traffic controller at LCY. Lets just say
that some of the near misses there have been apparently quite
"stunning" too due to the steep take off and glide slopes.

I've never got through LCY without being searched. I've never been searched
at LHR, LGW or STN.

What have you got to hide that you object to being searched? Or are you a
terrorist sympathiser intent on giving them an easy route into the UK?
Perhaps both apply?

I've used LCY twice a week, every week, for six months and never been searched.

That said, I've never been searched at any other airport in the UK either.
