Although large volumes of "grunt trading" can be done hands-off, you can generally only set up the initial relationships in person. I'm not saying theres *no* business travel, but the amount of essential business travel is minute compared to the overall traffic flows at heathrow. When you turn up at the airport how many people do you see in suits compared to jeans and t-shirts with optional kids in tow? Ok , some are off in first or business class lounges but thats a small minority compared to economy. 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. |
