Business Travelers Told to Avoid Heathrow
It looks like the security issues and discomfort we have experiencing in the United States are being felt over in England. Heathrow International Airport in London is adding additional security measures and it is annoying both business travelers and travel agents with the additional time it is taking to get through security. So much so that the travel agents are recommending to the business traveler to use different airports that have lighter security.
“Some passengers are getting very annoyed indeed,” one airline told Times Online. “It is taking them a lot longer to get through security than they have been accustomed to.” According to airline sources, queues to pass through security are taking as long as one hour at peak times. Times Online.
