British Airways

Heathrow's in Chaos, Stansted's Expensive

Flying in and out of London has never been more fraught with problems. Apart from the usual baggage problems - Heathrow Airport is so flooded with flights and luggage that it sometimes simply ships masses of bags on to Milan for sorting and distribution, which obviously means your suitcase will take longer than you do to get home - a few days ago two British Airways planes managed to collide while taxiing near Terminal 4 at Heathrow.

And yet the future of other London airports is equally confused. Stansted Airport, which used to be the reliably cheap spot for low cost carriers to land, has doubled its charges in the last three months and already Ryanair is cutting 20% of its flights from Stansted as a result. Perhaps the whole push for people to return to train travel is a better idea than it sounded.
