So I arrived in the new Terminal 5 at Heathrow. How Fab. Even this arrival terminal was better than the LAX departure terminal. The LAX authorities need to wake up to the fact that they have a captured audience in their departure lounges. Travellers - bouyed by the idea of distance places, have money burning a hole in their pocket.
If you go to Heathrow - departures. It's like a Mall -- nothing but shops, shops, shops, restaurants, bars etc. Plenty of opportunities to spend money. This is what travel and airports should be like

Airports
I left LA yesterday, and it never ceases to amaze me - how terrible LAX airport is. I left from the Tom Bradley terminal - and I bypassed the cafe and bar in the departures hall, fully expecting a better choice of establishments the other side of security.
Boy was I disappointed. There was one tiny bar which had a hot dog stand as the only form of solid sustenance. Well I don't eat meat - and to be honest I'm not sure I'd eat them if I did. My vodka and orange cost nearly 10 dollars - and the tinney speakers belched out bad covers of early disco.
