Great vid! BAA cant get there act together. Really poor customer service. I live in the uk and avoid Heathrow at all costs. I'd rather pay the extra money and fly from my local airport to Amsterdam / Schiphol, a much easier and more organised airport.
I flew into Heathrow from the US, 3 days after the discovery of the "liquids-into-explosives" scare, August 2006. A week later, stood in line for 1 hr 20 min. while folks were told & re-told to throw out their liquids, especially perfumes, lotions, all the forbiddens, as if they'd never heard of the now week-long policies. It is amazing how stupid people like to play! Better safe than sorry and the Heathrow personnel were terrific!
The most staggering part is not the length of people - although that is pure madness - but how everybody takes it, and some in good humour. Why isn't anyone going crazy with impatience?
actually its worse than that. That's just the queue BEFORE boarding pass check. Then, once past the check, there are Disney-style switchbacks for at least another 30 minutes. But, after a queue like this, what's another 30.
I have just decided to make my flight to Europe through Paris instead of London, specifically because of this video and the other stuff I read about LHR on the internet. Nice going, Brits. I love you all, but you seem to enjoy your queues too much.
That is why I avoid that Airport at all costs. London Heathrow airport has got to be the most disorganized airport i've been to...more disorganized than Montreal's Treadau airport. Awuful
Agree. You SHOULD avoid Heathrow because a YouTube user named massdimatteo (likely a worker at Heathrow) just called me stupid, along with that stupidly long line.
