Yes, yes, yes I have lots of comments about British Airways and London Heathrow.We rreutned to the States from living in the UK for nearly 3 years, and flew out of Heathrow every time we'd visit the States. Depending on how long you'll have to stay in Heathrow my suggestion is to call BA and upgrade so you can go into the Business Class Lounge (but not your seats). There's lots of places to sit, it's fully enclosed with a (smallish) children's room with a train table and TV which is glassed so you can see it from the lounge, but also has seats for adults inside. There's a (free) buffet and drinks as well. I'm really unsure of the price, but I believe you can also use miles to upgrade to it. The last time we flew out was August 11 (when Heathrow basially shut down because of the terror suspects arrested for transatlantic bomb plots) and that lounge saved me from the edge of insanity. Good luck and e-mail if you'd like to talk more about Heathrow. Tamatha |
