"According to an experiment commissioned by Silverjet, which operates all-business class flights between London Luton and New York Newark, and conducted by the neuropsychologist David Lewis, the stress that passengers endure when traveling through Heathrow is higher than that of a Formula 1 driver during a race, a free-fall parachutist during a descent, or riot police confronting a stone-throwing mob.
"Heart rates and physiological stress levels of the travelers peaked at four times their normal resting levels during the trial," Lewis said.
So you may share my surprise to learn that Heathrow rates only third place, behind London Gatwick and Stansted in a league table of "British Airports of Shame".
Now you all know that I was not exaggerating!

I've never liked Heathrow. You can hardly find a place to sit. And for the weary traveler, there isn't anywhere to sleep. They put arm rests in between every seat so that you can't stretch out at all. I can add Brussels to the list now. I wasn't incredibly impressed with that airport either.
I wasn't trying to post anonymously, but somehow it skipped right to that.
I don't know when penktadienis, rugpjucio the 24th was, (I'm guess August), but I know it was a LONG time ago. Update, please! Blog or email or skype...I'm not picky! :)
