OPINION - Fat Tony: Which London airport is best? There's only one standout for me...

I’m not being funny but… I’m over Heathrow airport? How many times in the past few years have you been getting excited about finally going on holiday, and then you turn up at Heathrow or Gatwick and are faced with insane security queues? How many times have you arrived back from a work trip or city break only to have to deal with a customs line a thousand people deep? It appears to always be one thing or another.

London’s still a leading European travel hub but I’m not surprised cities like Madrid and Paris have been so many travellers’ hub of choice these days. You never know if border control staff are going to be on strike one week, or refuellers will be striking the next.
