As you probably know, there was an attempted terrorist attack on a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit over the holiday.

It’s official: People don’t like Heathrow. In a poll of nearly 15,000 subscribers to Priority Pass, the leading independent airport lounge program, London’s Heathrow Airport came in at the bottom of their Sept 2009 survey of world airports.
The unmitigated hate is likely stemming from last year’s T5 opening, commonly known as a debacle, where people missed flights, lost luggage and simply sat around complaining about everything.
Commenting on the survey results, Jonathan French, the head of Priority Pass said: “The travelers who took part in this survey took almost 250,000 flights between them over the last year, and that means they know a thing or two about airports.
“Sadly, Heathrow remains firmly entrenched as the airport the world loves to hate.”
