Wafted from paradise to Luton Airport

Oct 2009, Buddenbrooks remarked: And before you chip in saying this is a lifestyle choice - those choices are made for us sometimes. The lack of service is not acceptable. Having a job involving a lot of international travel and living a long distance from Heathrow is a lifestyle choice. I disagree on two levels. First of all, I can do all the long-haul international travel I need to, generally much cheaper, by starting at Birmingham and taking a hop to AMS/CDG/DXB. It's only an hour to BHX by car, and an hour checking is almost always OK. I'm not sure you could get onto a plane from LHR as quickly, even living in Hounslow. And I can satisfactorily do much of Europe (with the particular exception of BRU, and GVA is about to become more difficult) from EMA. I'm not sure there are many LHR-BRU flights either, and GVA is better served from LTN. Secondly, there is more to a lifestyle than being able to catch a plane from Heathrow. Especially where family is involved. Which is a weakness of "blokes on Usenet", as they tend to be self-selecting as not family men, with more to think about than their own convenience. -- Roland Perry |
