As I arrived right in the middle of the Games, the terminal was virtually empty. The volunteers could not have been more helpful.Helsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589105760911453392.post-955477532440421102012-08-04T11:03:16.298-07:002012-08-04T11:03:16.298-07:00"London Heathrow was delightful": you..."London Heathrow was delightful": you're just teasing, aren't you?

Hong Kong has millions of people going through, stifling heat, not enough immigration and customs officers and endless, mind numbing queues. London Heathrow was delightful but involved walking many kilometres within each terminal. Lisbon involved endless walking and waiting in squishy holding area etc etc<br /><br />Only Frankfurt was a delight.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
