We landed at Heathrow airport about 2 hours ago at noon London time and we’re now chilling at a Starbucks waiting for our next flight which won’t be for another 3 1/2 hours. The terrorist paranoia-induced knee-jerk reaction is definitely real and annoying. Even with the lowered security level, we couldn’t get onto the plane with more than a couple of ziplock bags with some random things like my ipod and passport and whatnot. Apparently the check-in people at Perason didn’t get the memo. Thankfully they let us take our laptops on board because I definitely didn’t want to check it in with my luggage.
The flight over was pretty good, and I was quite impressed with British Airways…it’s so much better than Air Canada. Every seat has a personal LCD screen and instead of just showing the same movie on every screen, we pretty much had video on demand with a pretty decent collection of movies and tv shows. I ended up watching Inside Man and then The Sentinel. I thoroughly enjoyed Inside Man but The Sentinel wasn’t as satisfying considering the all-star cast it had. I kinda regret staying up all night (our flight left at midnight Monday night…) but I couldn’t pass up the sweet entertainment setup on the flight. I managed to get an hour or so of sleep though as we descended and taxied to the terminal. I have a headache now.
Now to waste another 3 hours…
