My Dad says that being a Londoner has nothing to do with where you're born. He says that there are people who get off a jumbo jet at Heathrow, go through immigration waving any kind of passport, hop on the tube and by the time the train's pulled into Piccadilly Circus they've become a Londoner.
Ben Aaronovitch (Moon Over Soho (Rivers of London, #2))
Out of the millions of people we live among, most of whom we habitually ignore and are ignored by in turn, there are always a few that hold hostage our capacity for happiness, whom we could recognize by their smell alone and whom we would rather die than be without.
Alain de Botton (A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary)
Travel agents would be wiser to ask us what we hope to change about our lives rather than simply where we wish to go.
Alain de Botton (A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary)
Prime Minister: Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspision love actually is all around.
Richard Curtis
It seems that most of us could benefit from a brush with a near-fatal disaster to help us recognise the important things that we are too defeated or embittered to recognise from day to day.
Alain de Botton (A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary)
In a world of twelve-years-olds in sexy boots and nans in sparkly mini-dresses, the surest way to tell the prostitute walking into a hotel at Heathrow is to look for the lady in the designer suit.
Belle de Jour
You won't enjoy it," sighed Crowley. "It's been in the car for more than a fortnight." A heavy bass beat began to thump through the Bentley as they sped past Heathrow. Aziraphale's brow furrowed. "I don't recognize this," he said. "What is it?" "It's Tchaikovsky's 'Another One Bites the Dust'," said Crowley, closing his eyes as they went through Slough. To while away the time as they crossed the sleeping Chilterns, they also listened to William Byrd's "We Are the Champions" and Beethoven's "I Want To Break Free." Neither were as good as Vaughan Williams's "Fat-Bottomed Girls.
Terry Pratchett (Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch)
In Heathrow a vast chunk of memory detached itself from a blank bowl of airport sky and fell on him. He vomited into a blue plastic canister without breaking stride.
William Gibson (Count Zero (Sprawl, #2))
Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.
Richard Curtis
At the beginning of human history, as we struggled to light fires and to chisel fallen trees into rudimentary canoes, who could have predicted that long after we had managed to send men to the moon and areoplanes to Australasia, we would still have such trouble knowing how to tolerate ourselves, forgive our loved ones, and apologise for our tantrums?
Alain de Botton (A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary)
Whatever the benefits of prolific and convenient air travel, we may curse it for its smooth subversion of our attempts to use journeys to make lasting changes in our lives.
Alain de Botton (A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary)
Nowhere was the airport's charm more concentrated than on the screens placed at intervals across the terminal which announced, in deliberately workmanlike fonts, the itineraries of aircraft about to take to the skies. These screens implied a feeling of infinite and immediate possibility: they suggested the ease with which we might impulsively approach a ticket desk and, within a few hours, embark for a country where the call to prayer rang out over shuttered whitewashed houses, where we understood nothing of the language and where no one knew our identities.
Alain de Botton (A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary)
It is psychotic to draw a line between two places. It is psychotic to go. It is psychotic to look. Psychotic to live in a different country forever. Psychotic to lose something forever. The compelling conviction that something has been lost is psychotic. Even the aeroplane's dotted line on the monitor as it descends to Heathrow is purely weird ambient energy. It is psychotic to submit to violence in a time of great violence and yet it is psychotic to leave that home or country, the place where you submitted again and again, forever. Indeed, it makes the subsequent involuntary arrival a stressor for psychosis.
Bhanu Kapil
Do you think,” she says, the words emerging thickly, “we might have used up all our conversation last night?” “Not possible,” says Oliver, and the way he says it, his mouth turned up in a smile, his voice full of warmth, unwinds the knot in Hadley’s stomach. “We haven’t even gotten to the really important stuff yet.” “Like what?” she asks, trying to arrange her face in a way that disguises the relief she feels. “Like what’s so great about Dickens?” “Not at all,” he says. “More like the plight of koalas. Or the fact that Venice is sinking.” He pauses, waiting for this to register, and when Hadley says nothing, he slaps his knee for emphasis. “Sinking! The whole city! Can you believe it?” She frowns in mock seriousness. “That does sound pretty important.” “It is,” Oliver insists. “And don’t even get me started on the size of our carbon footprint after this trip. Or the difference between crocodiles and alligators. Or the longest recorded flight of a chicken.” “Please tell me you don’t actually know that.” “Thirteen seconds,” he says, leaning forward to look past her and out the window. “This is a total disaster. We’re nearly to Heathrow and we haven’t even properly discussed flying chickens.
Jennifer E. Smith (The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight)
How quickly all the advantages of technological civilisation are wiped out by a domestic squabble. At the beginning of human history, as we struggled to light fires and to chisel fallen trees into rudimentary canoes, who could have predicted that long after we had managed to send men to the moon and aeroplanes to Australasia, we would still have trouble knowing how to tolerate ourselves, forgive our loved ones and apologise for our tantrums?
Alain de Botton (A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary)
We might have been ready to offer sympathy, but in actuality there were stronger reasons to want to congratulate her for having found such a powerful motive to feel sad. We should have envied her for having located someone without whom she so firmly felt she could not survive, beyond the gate let along in a bare student bedroom in a suburb of Rio. If she had been able to view her situation from a sufficient distance, she might have been able to recognise this as one of the high points in her life.
Alain de Botton (A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary)
A sea-green sky: lamps blossoming white. This is marginal land: fields of strung wire, of treadless tyres in ditches, fridges dead on their backs, and starving ponies cropping the mud. It is a landscape running with outcasts and escapees, with Afghans, Turks and Kurds: with scapegoats, scarred with bottle and burn marks, limping from the cities with broken ribs. The life forms here are rejects, or anomalies: the cats tipped from speeding cars, and the Heathrow sheep, their fleece clotted with the stench of aviation fuel.
Hilary Mantel (Beyond Black)
It tasted like all foreign spirits do after they’ve passed through Heathrow. Wrong.
Anthony Horowitz (Magpie Murders (Susan Ryeland, #1))
As David lifted a suitcase onto the conveyor belt, he came to an unexpected and troubling realisation: that he was bringing himself with him on his holiday. Whatever the qualities of the Dimitra Residence, they were going to be critically undermined by the fact that he would be in the villa as well.
Alain de Botton (A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary)
Rudy Giuliani, the president’s former personal attorney, was now living in the Julian Assange suite at the Ecuadorean embassy in London. While changing planes at Heathrow, Rudy was tipped off that the Justice Department had issued a warrant for his arrest for injurious punditry and pernicious legal representation.
Christopher Buckley (Make Russia Great Again)
Ah, this is more like it. Tchaikovsky,’ said Aziraphale, opening a case and slotting its cassette into the Blaupunkt. ‘You won’t enjoy it,’ sighed Crowley. ‘It’s been in the car for more than a fortnight.’ A heavy bass beat began to thump through the Bentley as they sped past Heathrow. Aziraphale’s brow furrowed. ‘I don’t recognize this,’ he said. ‘What is it?’ ‘It’s Tchaikovsky’s “Another One Bites the Dust”,’ said Crowley, closing his eyes as they went through Slough. To while away the time as they crossed the sleeping Chilterns, they also listened to William Byrd’s ‘We are the Champions’ and Beethoven’s ‘I Want To Break Free’. Neither were as good as Vaughan Williams’s ‘Fat-Bottomed Girls’.
Terry Pratchett (Good Omens)
Every skillful writer foregrounds notable aspects of experience, details that might otherwise be lost in the mass of data that continuously bathes our senses - and in so doing prompts us to find and savour those in the world around us.
Alain de Botton (A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary)
Whatever the final cost of HS2, all those tens of billions could clearly buy lots of things more generally useful to society than a quicker ride to Birmingham. Then there is all the destruction of the countryside. A high-speed rail line offers nothing in the way of charm. It is a motorway for trains. It would create a permanent very noisy, hyper-visible scar across a great deal of classic British countryside, and disrupt and make miserable the lives of hundreds of thousands of people throughout its years of construction. If the outcome were something truly marvellous, then perhaps that would be a justifiable price to pay, but a fast train to Birmingham is never going to be marvellous. The best it can ever be is a fast train to Birmingham. Remarkably, the new line doesn’t hook up to most of the places people might reasonably want to go to. Passengers from the north who need to get to Heathrow will have to change trains at Old Oak Common, with all their luggage, and travel the last twelve miles on another service. Getting to Gatwick will be even harder. If they want to catch a train to Europe, they will have to get off at Euston station and make their way half a mile along the Euston Road to St Pancras. It has actually been suggested that travelators could be installed for that journey. Can you imagine travelling half a mile on travelators? Somebody find me the person who came up with that notion. I’ll get the horsewhip. Now here’s my idea. Why not keep the journey times the same but make the trains so comfortable and relaxing that people won’t want the trip to end? Instead, they could pass the time staring out the window at all the gleaming hospitals, schools, playing fields and gorgeously maintained countryside that the billions of saved pounds had paid for. Alternatively, you could just put a steam locomotive in front of the train, make all the seats inside wooden and have it run entirely by volunteers. People would come from all over the country to ride on it. In either case, if any money was left over, perhaps a little of it could be used to fit trains with toilets that don’t flush directly on to the tracks, so that when I sit on a platform at a place like Cambridge or Oxford glumly eating a WH Smith sandwich I don’t have to watch blackbirds fighting over tattered fragments of human waste and toilet paper. It is, let’s face it, hard enough to eat a WH Smith sandwich as it is.
Bill Bryson (The Road to Little Dribbling: Adventures of an American in Britain)
Ljudske predstave o Zemlji, čak i posle mirenja sa solarnom teorijom, nepopravivo su pompezne. Ljudske predstave o kosmosu neizlečivo antropocentrične. Koliko su, u međuvremenu, istinite? Da li je, uistinu, jedino čoveku, s njegovom besmrtnom dušom, dato i pravo da eksperimentiše s drugim živim bićima? Da li uistinu, jedino on može, sme, ume svoje istine saznavati putem patnje, nesreće, umiranja drugih? Jedino on u tzv. laboratorijama imati krvave žrtvenike svoje žeđi za saznavanjem. Zar i čovekova Zemlja ne bi mogla biti tek nečija laboratorija, ljudi nečije eksperimentalne životinje, na kojima neka napredna civilizacija s humanom ravnodušnošću prema životu, testira svoje intergalaktičke insekticide, a visokosisarska ih populacija ovde dole u agoniji doživljava kao sve strašnije bolesti. Naravno da bi to Zemlja mogla biti. Da bi ljudi to mogli biti. Jer, što je u Sunčevom sistemu čovek, u drugom može biti insekt. Insekt progonjen ovde, može biti gospodarska rasa negde drugde. Ekologija ne poznaje univerzalno prvenstvo, a biologija nikome ne priznaje pravo da večno bude u vrhu života. To bi na razuman način objasnilo uništavajuće epidemije, tumačene dosad spontanostima nepoznatog mehanizma. I Mojsijeve biblijske pošasti, i Crnu smrt, kugu od 1347, koja je do 1350, samo za tri godine eksperimentisanja bacilom Pasteurella Pestis, odnela trećinu Evropljana, četrdesetak miliona ljudskih zamoraca, podleglih ekstrasteralnoj inokulaciji španskom influencom ranih dvadesetih ovog stoleća, laboratorijsku regularnost kineskih epidemija, vulkanske provale smrtonosnih infekcija među kičmenjacima, pa, zašto ne, i tri bolesnice na aerodromu Heathrow. Jasne bi postale propasti Atlantisa, drevnih mediteranskih civilizacija. Astečke imperije i s naučnom preciznošću mogli bi se predvideti završeci savremenih kultura, kao što se u minut može predskazati sudbina laboratorijskih životinja koje su nadživele eksperimentalnu svrhu.
Borislav Pekić (Besnilo)
One wants never to give up this crystalline perspective. One wants to keep counterpositioning home with what one knows of alternative realities, as they exist in Tunis or Hyderabad. One wants never to forget that nothing here is normal, that the streets are different in Wisebaden, and Louyang, that this is just one of many possible worlds.

Terry Pratchett (Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch)
Even if our loved ones have assured us that they will be busy at work, even if they told us they hated us for going traveling in the first place, even if they left us last June or died twelve and a half years ago, it is impossible not to experience a shiver of a sense that they may have come along anyway, just to surprise us and make us feel special (as someone must have done for us when we were small, if only occasionally, or we would never had the strength to make it this far).
Alain de Botton (A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary)
But imagine for a moment such a person attempting to leave the country, armed with no passport, no credit cards, merely the power to throw thunderbolts and who knew what else. You would probably have to imagine a scene very similar to the one that did in fact occur at Terminal Two, Heathrow. But why, if you were a Norse god, would you be needing to leave the country by means of a scheduled airline? Surely there were other means? Dirk rather thought that one of the perks of being an immortal divine might be the ability to fly under your own power. From what he remembered of his reading of the Norse legends many years ago, the gods were continually flying all over the place, and there was never any mention of them hanging around in departure lounges eating crummy buns. Admittedly, the world was not, in those days, bristling with air-traffic controllers, radar, missile-warning systems and such like. Still, a quick hop across the North Sea shouldn’t be that much of a problem for a god, particularly if the weather was in your favor, which, if you were the God of Thunder, you would pretty much expect it to be, or want to know the reason why.
Douglas Adams (The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul (Dirk Gently, #2))
When I woke up a man in a green beret with a big feather poking out of it was leaning over me. I must be hallucinating, I thought. I blinked again but he didn’t go away. Then this immaculate, clipped British accent addressed me. “How are you feeling, soldier?” It was the colonel in charge of British Military Advisory Team (BMAT) in southern Africa. He was here to check on my progress. “We’ll be flying you back to the UK soon,” he said, smiling. “Hang on in there, trooper.” The colonel was exceptionally kind, and I have never forgotten that. He went beyond the call of duty to look out for me and get me repatriated as soon as possible--after all, we were in a country not known for its hospital niceties. The flight to the UK was a bit of a blur, spent sprawled across three seats in the back of a plane. I had been stretchered across the tarmac in the heat of the African sun, feeling desperate and alone. I couldn’t stop crying whenever no one was looking. Look at yourself, Bear. Look at yourself. Yep, you are screwed. And then I zonked out. An ambulance met me at Heathrow, and eventually, at my parents’ insistence, I was driven home. I had nowhere else to go. Both my mum and dad looked exhausted from worry; and on top of my physical pain I also felt gut-wrenchingly guilty for causing such grief to them. None of this was in the game plan for my life. I had been hit hard, broadside and from left field, in a way I could never have imagined. Things like this just didn’t happen to me. I was always the lucky kid. But rogue balls from left field can often be the making of us.
Bear Grylls (Mud, Sweat and Tears)
Elizabeth had explained again and again to Joyce that Farnborough wasn’t an airport like Heathrow and Gatwick, and that there wouldn’t be shops. But her friend is crestfallen nonetheless. ‘But there’s not even a WHSmith’s,’ says Joyce, looking around the arrivals terminal.
Richard Osman (The Man Who Died Twice (Thursday Murder Club, #2))
Always expect the unexpected. Never get too when things are going well, because otherwise the fall will be a lot harder. dinosaurs: triceratops and stegosaurus. Weather forecasters are like prison visitors. Nice people but usually misguided. The answer was yes, no, and maybe all rolled in one. She added that she hoped she might see him again. Not if I catch sight of you first, he thought. But like anything in life, you can never quite tell. People you know always have the ability to shock you. The label said it was "just like the mama used to cook" but if that was the case mama had obviously long since been banned from the kitchen. He wasn't work-shy. He was work-allergic. The problem these days is that gangsters, whether they be small time drug dealers with guns and attitude or wannabe urban godfathers like Nicholas Tyndall, have no qualms about using serious violence and the treat of it to get what they want, because they know that neither the judicial system nor the police service have the wherewithal or the powers to protect those who speak out against them. English prisons are roughly on a par with English traffic, English weather and English hospitals. In other words, fucking terrible. The striation marks on a bullet are the microscopic scratches caused by imperfections on the surface of the interior of a gun's barrel that are unique to each individual firearm, and act as its calling card.The same striation marks will appear on a bullet every time a particular gun is fired. 'The last time I spent quality time with you was Heathrow last week and five people ended up shot' The thing with me is that I am pessimist who's constantly trying to be optimistic, but can't quite manage it. Experience gained through years of policework doesn't allow for that sort of naivety. They say its a grand life if you don't weaken and for so long I've tried to live my life like that, but at that moment in time, weakness felt so tempting that I almost open my arms to greet it. 'And the whole time I couldn't wait to leave. And you know what, thy were the best years of my life.

Alice Feeney (His & Hers)
Over four hundred thousand people from every corner of the country and overseas lined up for five days for an opportunity to venerate Her Majesty and her legacy or to just be present for this historical moment. #TheQueue trended on social media, and lines—which could even be seen from planes flying to Heathrow—became an important final scene of the Queen’s life: a national moment of shared experience.

Hot single dad with more emotional baggage than London Heathrow Airport during Christmas? Check.
Lauren Asher (Love Unwritten (Lakefront Billionaires, #2))
But I never changed it! That story comes from the fact that when I was going to Switzerland, to the clinic to clean up, I had to land at Heathrow and change planes. And there’s the Street of Shame following me, “Hey, Keith.” I said, “Look, shut the fuck up. I’m going to have me blood changed.” Boom, that’s it. And then off to the plane. After that, it’s like it’s in the Bible or something. I just said it to fob them off. It’s been there ever since. I can’t untie the threads of how much I played up to the part that was written for me. I mean the skull ring and the broken tooth and the kohl. Is it half and half? I think in a way your persona, your image, as it used to be known, is like a ball and chain. People think I’m still a goddamn junkie. It’s thirty years since I gave up the dope! Image is like a long shadow.
Keith Richards (Life)
I seemed to be the only person in the whole of Heathrow who had realized the comfort and flexibility afforded by wearing pyjamas on a flight. After years of trying to look smart in the hope of being able to wangle an upgrade I had been elated that I didn't need to bother. So I was travelling in the comfiest clothes that Primark provided.
Lucy-Anne Holmes (The (Im)Perfect Girlfriend (Sarah Sargeant, #2))
MY DAD says that being a Londoner has nothing to do with where you’re born. He says that there are people who get off a jumbo jet at Heathrow, go through immigration waving any kind of passport, hop on the tube, and by the time the train’s pulled into Piccadilly Circus they’ve become Londoners. He said there were others, some of whom were born within the sound of the Bow Bells, who spend their whole life dreaming of an escape. When they do go, they almost always head for Norfolk where the skies are big, the land is flat, and the demographics are full of creamy-white goodness.
Ben Aaronovitch (Moon Over Soho (Rivers of London #2))
ahead, burning with embarrassment, confusion and most of all, the unshakeable feeling that I had done something wrong only I didn’t know what. And if he hadn’t apologized by the time we landed, I could always push him down the escalators at Heathrow and say it was an accident. We spent the rest of the flight in silence, listening to Maura’s choked sobs every time the plane shook, followed by another wordless hour in customs and nearly two more driving home. I was half awake, half asleep, delirious from jet lag and unwelcome tears. I didn’t care about the ring at all any more, all I wanted to know was why Adam was so incredibly angry.
Lindsey Kelk (We Were On a Break)
In mid-September Soufan talked to an al-Qaeda prisoner named Ramzi Binalshibh, who was chained naked to the floor in a CIA black prison at the Bagram air base outside Kabul. He said he was starting to obtain “valuable actionable intelligence” before CIA officers ordered him to stop talking forty-five minutes later. On September 17, they flew their prisoner to a second black site in Morocco, then on to Poland; under extreme duress he described plots to crash airplanes into Heathrow Airport and Canary Wharf in London. He was also diagnosed as a schizophrenic.
Tim Weiner (Enemies: A History of the FBI)
The Hadrah Hakim The last I saw of the Hadrah was in the summer of 1967, when Andy and I decided to take a week's vacation and tour the Greek Islands. Hakim kept his promise of a week's use of the Simorgh and the Kahyya’m, and sent his plane to collect us at Heathrow. My Master was on his way from London to Monte Carlo, where the Kahyya’m was docked.
Young (Initiation (A Harem Boy's Saga Book 1))
Standing before costly objects of technological beauty, we may be tempted to reject the possibility of awe, for fear that we could grow stupid through admiration. We may feel at risk of becoming overimpressed by architecture and engineering, of being dumbstruck by the Bombardier trains that progress driverlessly between satellites or by the General Electric GE90 engines that hang lightly off the composite wings of a Boeing 777 bound for Seoul. And yet to refuse to be awed at all might in the end be merely another kind of foolishness.
Alain de Botton (A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary)
Whenever I feel unhappy about the state of the world,' the Prime Minister thought to himself, 'I think about the Arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport, where happy, smiling passengers greet their friends and relatives. It seems to me that love is everywhere. It isn't big news - but it's always there. Fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, friends and strangers. When the planes hit New York, people's last phone calls weren't messages of hate. They were messages of love. If you look for it, you'll find - I think - that love actually is all around us ...

A sense of humor was essential survival equipment in the palace jungle—but nothing too clever. So was an ability to enjoy food and drink. To these I secretly added an ability to enjoy plane-spotting. It turned out to be quite useful. Many of my tensest moments were experienced in royal airplanes, but surprisingly often I could deflect the Princess’s fiercest rocket with a calculated display of nerdish interest in what I could see out of the window. As it happened, I was able to indulge this lonely vice almost immediately as I caught the bus back to Heathrow. Farewells at KP were polite but perfunctory, and Richard and Anne gave no hint as to the outcome of my interview. Richard ventured the comment that I had given “a remarkable performance,” but this only added to the general air of theatrical unreality. I was pretty sure I had eaten my first and last royal Jersey royal potato. Back in Scotland, my despondency deepened as I inhaled the pungent aroma of my allocated bedroom in the Faslane transit mess. It was not fair, I moaned to myself, to expose someone as sensitive as me to lunch with the most beautiful woman in the world and then consign him to dinner with the duty engineer at the Clyde Submarine Base. And how could I ever face the future when every time the Princess appeared in the papers I would say to myself—or, far worse, to anyone in earshot—“Oh yes, I’ve met her. Had lunch with her in fact. Absolutely charming. Laughed at all my jokes . . .” Now thoroughly depressed, I was preparing for a miserable night’s sleep when I was interrupted by the wardroom night porter. He wore a belligerent expression so convincing that it was clearly the result of long practice. No doubt drawing on years of observing submarine officers at play, he clearly suspected he was being made the victim of a distinctly unamusing practical joke. In asthmatic Glaswegian he accused me of being wanted on the phone “frae Bucknum Paluss.” I rushed to the phone booth, suddenly wide-awake. The Palace operator connected me to Anne Beckwith-Smith. “There you are!” she said in her special lady-in-waiting voice. “We’ve been looking for you everywhere. Would you like the job?
Patrick D. Jephson (Shadows Of A Princess: An Intimate Account by Her Private Secretary)
Frank John Hughes, who played Will Bill Guarnere, had a special duty that required his wearing his uniform/costume off the set. Looking exactly like an American paratrooper of 1944, complete with his set of jump wings, his pant legs bloused into his Corcoran boots, and a Screaming Eagle patch on his shoulder, Hughes reported to Heathrow Airport. * *In uniform, Hughes attracted many looks of admiration, especially from women.

The last time he’d flown into Heathrow, he’d sworn he would never do it again.
Kevin Wignall (The Traitor's Story)
Mission protocol dictates that I should let June Porter die before I compromise the objective. Mission protocol dictates that the lives of many outweigh the lives of one. Except the mission’s already fucking compromised. It has been since before we took off at Heathrow.

The pilgrimage began boldly Flying, alone, business class only And the Atlantic stretched into blends Of grey --where do the clouds touch the water?

Kissing, right there, in crowded Heathrow I could hear the director wanting a replay But we had trains to catch...

Find her a good home, someone to take care of her. She’s a little girl, Melrose. She shouldn’t be spending her days at Heathrow, scanning for villains. She should be safe.” The other members who were awake turned wide-eyed stares at Melrose, who was laughing so hard he was doubled up in his chair. “Just what the hell is so funny?” “Take care of her. This is Patty Haigh you’re talking about. The same Patty Haigh who got through Heathrow security on a pinched boarding pass; who wangled her way into B.B.’s good graces and flew to Dubai; who outwitted police in London, Dubai and Nairobi; who carries in her backpack a full selection of costumes and wigs to meet any eventuality; who requisitioned strangers to be her aunts, uncles, parents; who roamed around that godless slum, Kibera, on her own; who got into the Hemingways Hotel without paying a penny; who crossed the dark veldt between Kibera and Mbosi Camp protected only by her wits. This is the person we should keep safe!

Az öregének telefonált aznap délelőtt. Mintha az apja élne még, pedig csak úgy tett. A Heathrow-n a vámosoknak egyből gyanús lett. A repülőtér csarnokában nincs is térerő. A kokain tenné, hogy mégis hallott hangokat? Gyomrában a teli tasakok kiszakadtak? Anyanyelvén édes ízük volt a szavaknak. Kísértette egy régi balatoni alkonyat. Színek nélkül. Fekete-fehér az emlékezet. Puerto Ricó-i cellatársa kacér volt. De neje letette érte az óvadékot. Hálájába egy ölelés már rég nem fér bele. Ifjú felesége Lady ugyan, de nem a First. Okmányt hamisított, aláírást, pecsétet. A Temzén még éjjel hajóra szállt, lelépett. Igyekszik tengert látni önmaga s Anglia közt. Ha kikötőkben látod néhanap, tanuld meg: Ő a kisgyerek, ki voltál! És nem csak úgy tesz.

Did you enjoy prison?’ Mitchell asked. When they started asking really stupid questions was when you knew you’d truly pissed them off. ‘Do you want to go back there?’ ‘To be honest, if it was between prison and connecting in Terminal Five at Heathrow, I’d choose T5. Just. So no.

Heathrow was referred to as an air port. Troy presumed that this fiction was in some way meant to distinguish it from such places as Croydon which had always been called an aerodrome or Brize Norton which remained an air field. It was a linguistic elevation, a sleight of tongue. What it amounted to on the physical plane was a shanty town of shacks and bulldozers, mountains of frozen mud, on the very fringe of London — so far out as to seem like another country. In this weather, Troy thought, it might as well be the North Pole.

April 2001 “Papa! I’ve found her!” Sam Rabowitz drew in breath. For a moment, all he could do was clutch the phone to his ear. “Papa? Are you there? I’ve met her.” “Where?” “She’s here. In Paris.” “Paris? Rachel, I don’t understand. The private detective…” “He was looking for Helena Lehman. Her mother changed their surname. They might not have survived the Occupation otherwise. She’s now Helena Yves.” “Helena Yves…? Will she agree to see me?” “It is all arranged. There’s a flight from Heathrow this evening.” * * *
Sam Kates (Dying by Numbers)
You simply can't trust the British. With Americans (or Canadians, for that matter) what you see is what you get. But settle into your seat on a 749 flying out of Heathrow next to an ostensibly boring old Englishman with wobbly chins, the acquired stammer, obviously something in the City, intent on his Times crossword puzzle, and don't you dare patronize him. Mr. Milquetoast, actually a judo black belt, was probably parachuted into the Dordogne in 1943, blew up a train or two, and survived the Gestapo cells by concentrating on what would become the definitive translation of Gilgamesh from the Sin-Leqi-Inninni; and now -- his garment bag stuffed with his wife's most alluring cocktail dresses and lingerie -- he is no doubt bound for the annual convention of cross-dressers in Saskatoon.
Mordecai Richler (Barney's Version)
One wants never to give up this crystalline perspective. One wants to keep counterpoising home with what one knows of alternative realities, as they exist in Tunis or Hyderabad. One wants never to forget that nothing here is normal, that the streets are different in Wiesbaden and Luoyang, and that this is just one of many possible worlds.

MY DAD says that being a Londoner has nothing to do with where you’re born. He says that there are people who get off a jumbo jet at Heathrow, go through immigration waving any kind of passport, hop on the tube, and by the time the train’s pulled into Piccadilly Circus they’ve become Londoners.

Little Venice is one of the more secretive corners of London, tucked away between Paddington Station and Regent’s Park and unknown to almost everyone except the people who live there – and who wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. The traffic roars past along the Marylebone Road, heading for Heathrow Airport and the west, unaware that there’s this quiet enclave of handsome, expensive houses, eclectic shops and attractive cafés, almost a village in its own right, lurking just out of sight. The Regent’s Canal skirts round Lord’s Cricket Ground and London Zoo, then continues through the middle of it before passing through the Maida Hill Tunnel. The closer you are to the water’s edge, the more you are likely to pay. Harriet Throsby had lived a few minutes away from the canal.

☎️+1 844-928-0428 — When you need to change a flight with American Airlines, understanding the cost involved is essential to avoid unexpected expenses and plan your travel effectively. The cost to change a flight depends on your ticket type, fare rules, and whether the flight is domestic or international, with some exceptions allowing fee-free changes. Knowing the policies and potential fees can help you navigate the process with confidence. The easiest way to determine the exact cost is by calling ☎️+1 844-928-0428, where a customer service representative can review your booking and confirm any fees or fare differences. You can also check your ticket’s fare rules online by logging into “My Trips” on the American Airlines website or mobile app, where you can view your itinerary and explore change options. For most Main Cabin, Premium Economy, Business, or First Class tickets, American Airlines does not charge a change fee for domestic flights or most long-haul international flights originating in North or South America, but you may need to pay the fare difference if the new flight is more expensive. If the new flight is cheaper, you might receive a travel credit for the difference, depending on the ticket rules. Basic Economy tickets are typically non-changeable, except within the 24-hour flexible booking policy, which allows changes or cancellations without a fee if made within 24 hours of booking and the flight was booked at least two days before departure. For Basic Economy flights originating in Europe (excluding Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania), changes may be allowed with a fee, typically ranging from $75 to $150 for domestic or short-haul international flights, and higher for long-haul routes. Contact ☎️+1 844-928-0428 to confirm if this applies to your ticket. Same-day flight changes, where available, cost $60–$150 per direction, such as $60 for domestic flights within the U.S., Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Canada, or the Caribbean, and $150 for specific routes like New York-JFK to London-Heathrow. AAdvantage elite members, such as Executive Platinum or Platinum Pro, and passengers in First or Business Class may have these fees waived; call ☎️+1 844-928-0428 to verify eligibility. If American Airlines significantly changes your flight schedule, such as by more than three hours, or cancels it due to weather or operational issues, you can change your flight without a fee, and fare differences may be waived. For international flights, change fees and rules vary by destination, so it’s wise to call ☎️+1 844-928-0428 to clarify any restrictions or additional costs. If you booked through a travel agency or third-party website, you may need to contact them directly for changes, but ☎️+1 844-928-0428 can provide guidance if needed. If you have travel insurance, check your policy for coverage of change fees or fare differences. To manage costs effectively, follow these tips: Check your ticket’s fare rules early to understand potential fees. Make changes within the 24-hour booking window if possible to avoid fees. Have your booking confirmation number ready when calling or managing online. For international flights, verify destination-specific rules by calling ☎️+1 844-928-0428. Keep confirmation emails or updated itinerary details for reference. The cost to change a flight with American Airlines varies based on ticket type and circumstances, but many tickets now benefit from waived change fees. Whether you’re exploring options online, through the app, or by calling ☎️+1 844-928-0428, understanding your ticket’s terms ensures a smoother process. For questions, fee clarifications, or assistance with changes, keep ☎️+1 844-928-0428 handy—American Airlines’ customer service team is ready to guide you through the process with confidence.
How Much Is It to Change a Flight with American Airlines
☎️+1 866-548-2474 — When choosing between First Class and Business Class (Club World) on British Airways, understanding the differences in comfort, amenities, and services can help you decide which cabin best suits your needs. Both offer premium experiences, but First Class provides a more luxurious and exclusive journey compared to the already impressive Business Class. Knowing these distinctions can enhance your travel planning. The easiest way to explore these options or get personalized advice is by calling ☎️+1 866-548-2474, where a customer service representative can provide details specific to your flight and route. In First Class, available on select long-haul routes like London to New York or Dubai, you get a private suite with a 6’6” fully flat bed, sliding privacy doors, and 60% more personal space than Business Class. Business Class also offers a fully flat bed (6’ long) but in a more open layout with privacy screens, arranged in a 1-2-1 configuration for direct aisle access. First Class seats include a 15-inch personal entertainment screen, while Business Class has a 12-inch screen, both with noise-canceling headphones and on-demand content. First Class dining is more refined, featuring à la carte menus with premium dishes, fine wines, and champagne, served on bone china with linen napkins. Business Class offers a multi-course menu with quality meals and drinks, but less extensive wine selections and slightly simpler presentation. First Class passengers enjoy dedicated check-in desks, fast-track security, and access to exclusive lounges like the Concorde Room at London Heathrow, with private cabanas and waiter service. Business Class passengers use Club World check-in and access BA’s Club Lounges, which are comfortable but less luxurious, offering buffet dining and workspaces. Baggage allowances are more generous in First Class, with three checked bags (up to 32 kg each) compared to two in Business Class. First Class also includes complimentary spa treatments at select lounges and a personal amenity kit with high-end products like Temperley London toiletries. Priority boarding is standard for both, but First Class boards first. For international flights, First Class is available on fewer routes than Business Class, which is offered on most long-haul flights; confirm cabin availability by calling ☎️+1 866-548-2474. Upgrading from Business to First Class using Avios points typically requires 20,000–50,000 additional Avios, depending on the route, with cash upgrades costing $500–$2,000 or more. Executive Club Gold or oneworld Emerald members may get priority for upgrades, checkable via ☎️+1 866-548-2474. To choose the right cabin, follow these tips: Compare seat and amenity differences for your route on BA’s website or by calling ☎️+1 866-548-2474. Consider flight length—First Class is more worthwhile for long-haul routes. Check Avios or cash upgrade costs for cost-effectiveness. Review lounge access benefits for your departure airport. Save booking confirmations for reference. British Airways’ First Class offers a more exclusive, spacious, and luxurious experience than Business Class, which still provides excellent comfort and service. Whether exploring options online, through the app, or by calling ☎️+1 866-548-2474, understanding these differences ensures you pick the best cabin for your needs. For questions, cabin details, or booking assistance, keep ☎️+1 866-548-2474 handy—British Airways’ customer service team is ready to guide you with confidence.
What Is the Difference Between First Class and Business Class on British Airways
☎️+1 844-928-0428 — When traveling with a British Airways Business Class ticket (Club World or Club Europe), access to a British Airways lounge is one of the perks, and understanding what’s included, such as food, can enhance your lounge experience. British Airways lounges are designed to offer comfort and convenience, but knowing the specifics about food offerings ensures you make the most of your visit. For detailed information about lounge amenities at your specific airport, call ☎️+1 844-928-0428, where a customer service representative can provide tailored details. In British Airways lounges, such as the Galleries Club lounges or Concorde Room (where available), food and beverages are complimentary for Business Class passengers. This includes a variety of options like hot and cold dishes, snacks, salads, soups, and desserts, with menus varying by lounge location and time of day. For example, at major hubs like London Heathrow Terminal 5, you might find a buffet with breakfast items like pastries, yogurt, and eggs in the morning, or evening options like pasta, grilled meats, and vegetarian dishes. Complimentary drinks include soft drinks, tea, coffee, and alcoholic beverages like wine, beer, and spirits. Premium lounges, such as those at Heathrow or New York JFK, may also offer pre-flight dining with made-to-order dishes, allowing you to eat in the lounge and skip the in-flight meal for more rest. To confirm the specific food offerings at your lounge, especially for international airports, call ☎️+1 844-928-0428. If you have dietary restrictions, such as gluten-free or vegan needs, most lounges offer limited options, but you can request special accommodations in advance through “Manage My Booking” on the British Airways website or by calling ☎️+1 844-928-0428.

I’m in a British Airways lounge with a business ticket, is food free
☎️+1 844-928-0428 — When booking a premium cabin with British Airways, understanding the differences between First Class and Business Class (Club World for long-haul or Club Europe for short-haul) is key to choosing the right experience for your needs. Both offer significant upgrades over Economy, but First Class provides a more luxurious and exclusive experience compared to the already premium Business Class. Knowing the distinctions in seating, service, lounge access, and amenities helps you make an informed decision. For specific details about your flight’s aircraft or offerings, call ☎️+1 844-928-0428, where a customer service representative can provide tailored information. In First Class, available on select long-haul flights like those on Boeing 777, 787, or Airbus A380 aircraft, seats are spacious private suites with a lie-flat bed (up to 6’7” long and 22–24” wide), direct aisle access, and sliding privacy doors for enhanced seclusion. Business Class (Club World) also offers lie-flat beds (6’–6’6” long, 20–21” wide) but in a denser 2-4-2 or 2-3-2 configuration, meaning some seats lack direct aisle access, and privacy is less pronounced without sliding doors. On short-haul Club Europe flights, Business Class uses the same seats as Economy (17–18” wide, 29–31” pitch) but with a blocked middle seat for extra space and no lie-flat option. First Class dining is more refined, featuring à la carte menus with gourmet dishes, premium wines, and champagne like Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle, served on fine china with personalized service. Business Class offers a multi-course meal with quality options and drinks, including champagne, but less extensive than First Class. Both cabins provide complimentary meals and drinks, with First Class offering more bespoke choices. Call ☎️+1 844-928-0428 to request special dietary meals for either cabin. Lounge access is a key difference: First Class passengers enjoy exclusive access to the Concorde Room at major hubs like London Heathrow Terminal 5, with private cabanas, waiter-served dining, and a more intimate setting. Business Class passengers access Galleries Club lounges, which are comfortable but less luxurious, offering buffet dining and a wider range of guests. Both cabins include complimentary lounge food and drinks. Baggage allowances are more generous in First Class, with three checked bags up to 32 kg each compared to two in Business Class. Both allow one carry-on (56 x 45 x 25 cm, max 23 kg) and one personal item (40 x 30 x 15 cm, max 23 kg). First Class passengers get priority check-in, security, and boarding, with dedicated check-in desks, while Business Class also offers priority services but with less exclusivity. Onboard amenities in First Class include luxury sleep suits, high-end toiletries from Temperley London, and noise-canceling headphones, while Business Class provides a simpler amenity kit and headphones. For international flights, these differences are consistent, though aircraft type may affect seat layout; confirm specifics by calling ☎️+1 844-928-0428. To maximize your premium experience, follow these tips: Check your flight’s aircraft type via the website or ☎️+1 844-928-0428 to know seat features. Book early to secure First Class, as availability is limited. Use “Manage My Booking” to select seats or request dietary preferences. Arrive early to enjoy lounge amenities, especially the Concorde Room in First Class. Keep your booking reference handy for quick assistance. British Airways’ First Class offers a more exclusive and luxurious experience than Business Class, with superior seating, dining, and lounge access, while Business Class remains a comfortable premium option.

What Is the Difference Between First Class and Business Class on British Airways
☎️+1 844-928-0428 — When planning travel with British Airways, many passengers notice that flight fares can be higher compared to budget airlines, prompting questions about the reasons behind the cost. British Airways, as a premium full-service carrier, operates with a pricing model influenced by multiple factors, including operational costs, service offerings, and market dynamics. Understanding these reasons helps explain why fares may seem expensive and how to find better deals. For specific fare details or assistance with booking, call ☎️+1 844-928-0428, where a customer service representative can provide tailored information. British Airways’ fares reflect its status as a legacy airline, offering amenities like in-flight entertainment, complimentary meals, and free baggage allowances, which increase operational costs compared to no-frills carriers like Ryanair or easyJet. For example, Economy (World Traveller) passengers receive a checked bag up to 23 kg and a meal on long-haul flights, while budget airlines often charge extra for these. Higher staff salaries and better working conditions also contribute, as British Airways’ crew are paid more than those at some low-cost competitors. Operating from premium airports like London Heathrow, which has high landing fees and prioritizes daytime slots, adds to costs; for instance, Heathrow charges airlines more than secondary airports like Stansted or Luton. Fuel surcharges, a significant expense, further drive up fares, especially on long-haul routes, as British Airways passes these costs to passengers. On a round-trip business-class fare from New York to London, fuel surcharges alone can exceed $1,300, even when using Avios points. Dynamic pricing adjusts fares based on demand, seat availability, and booking timing, so high-demand routes or peak seasons like summer or holidays often see fares 20–50% higher than off-peak periods. For example, a London-to-New York Economy ticket might cost $600 in February but $900 in July. International flights, especially to destinations like Nigeria or the U.S., may include additional taxes and carrier charges, with U.K. Air Passenger Duty adding up to $200 for long-haul Economy or more for premium cabins. To confirm specific fees for your route, call ☎️+1 844-928-0428. Booking closer to departure or during peak times can inflate costs, but British Airways’ Low Price Finder tool or calling ☎️+1 844-928-0428 can help identify cheaper dates. If you booked through a travel agency, check fares with them, but British Airways’ customer service at ☎️+1 844-928-0428 can assist with fare queries. To find more affordable fares, follow these tips: Book 2–3 months in advance for domestic or short-haul flights, 3–5 months for long-haul to secure lower fares. Use the Low Price Finder tool or call ☎️+1 844-928-0428 to find off-peak travel dates like Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Be flexible with destinations, as less popular routes may have lower fares. Monitor sales on British Airways’ website or X for discounts, often announced weekly. Consider nearby airports or connecting flights to reduce costs. British Airways’ flight fares are higher due to premium services, airport fees, fuel surcharges, and dynamic pricing, but strategic booking can help you save.
