    That & Heathrow is sh1te, compared to Dubai or Singapore.

    Give me free wifi, an orchid garden, a swimming pool, free food if my transfer is over four hours, & rooms I can sleep in & I might let build another runway.
    "Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.

    what, so are you truly saying you want people to fly from say sweden or other parts of EU to london to connect to fly out of london to the likes of caracas? so there is "demand" created?

    Are you truly saying you want the UK to compete on having higher emissions so we have to pay higher taxes to the EU for the privilidge?

    "hubs" dont create that many more jobs, the odd baggage handler? The extra costa coffee people? Do me a favour- our losses on aircraft emissions taxes alone will dwarve these? Surely?

    Re-read my post and you'll see that's not what I'm saying at all. :rolleyes:

    I think you will find birmingham will be next, they need to extend aswell for long haul flights, mind you, ill be happy when they do, as at least it will save me travelling to london or manchester to get a long distance flight.
