Flying through Heathrow with Firearms now Forbidden, NOT

I was in Heathrow in May and June. Yes it was crowded, but I’ve seen bigger crowds. All luggage made every flight. The lounges were hard to get into, because they are limiting the numbers allowed inside. Once inside tons of room. Heathrow was not any worse that any other airport. T5 at Heathrow, is excellent. Does Heathrow need improvements - yes. They do have a plan, they just need to get busy with the demolition and building. It will look similar to ATL.

Frankly, Bucharest Airport was a complete disaster. Lufthansa and Austrian have two flights in the morning 10 minutes apart. They had only two agents at check in for two airbus planes, but all luggage made the flight.

Please trust me, it has spiraled completely out of control since then. We have people flying in and out of the UK weekly. We are doing everything possible to divert them around Heathrow. We are having to move meetings because airlines are forced to cancel flights due to lack of support staff. It’s a complete gong show. If you insist on transiting Heathrow with checked luggage I would allow six hours plus.
