the passing down of those signs was so sweet.

[robynsineadsheppard]

I will never understand why people knowingly buy houses next to airports and then complain about the noise.

As someone who has lived in Africa I can tell you it is very difficult to show source of funds as almost everything is done manually, unless you are a salaried worker its difficult to have your paper work in order showing exactly where the funds are from a lot isn't automated especially when dealing with cash

"we've been dating for 6 months"
"Is this the first time you're gonna meet him?"
"yes, first time meeting in person"
Huh. Boy the word Dating sure has changed definition.

My dad and I just got back from the UK after a week long trip, our experience at Heathrow both at arrival and Departure was amazing! Such lovely and polite staff, who were very welcoming and friendly.

Dudes final training session was guiding in one of the largest passenger planes on earth and he did it so confidently

It’s so impressive how pilots and ground crew can communicate with each other from hand singles and 2 red dots

[SDrtheone]

That was great to see the Marshall pass on his signs that he had passed to him. Wholesome!

[markuspienaar]

Not satisfied what he told you. He was honest by declaring the money until he realised you actually will take it away from him. Only natural to start fighting to keep it by changing the story. Honesty isn't always the best thing with guys like you.

[Kurdisheboy]

Wow, 787 flight 17 hours. That is amazing is awesome.
Wow, from Australia to Heathrow London, this is amazing.🎉

[dcallan]

Concord coming in to Heathrow every afternoon was awesome, you could set your watch by it rumbling overhead. You could feel it sometimes before it appeared. Its just a pity I never got to fly her.

[kreativeoutletz]

[anearangies]

[Porch.monkey.slayer]

I have a weird thing about airports.. alwYs wanted to live in one, like Tom Hanks. I loved airports before I saw that film but after I saw it I was even more obsessed with them !

[jimakcelik]

One thing I missed a lot is fish and chips
First thing I did it after immigration clearance went to London got myself a Fish and chips that was 20 years ago😂😂😂😂

[SilentPatriotic]

London Heathrow Airport is largest and busiest Airport in Eroupe I worked as a security officer next to airport walls I wish I could be there again

[Daud]

My first time entering Heathrow from South Africa, I was stopped by border control and had all my luggage checked and double checked. I had no idea why I aroused suspicion, but my brother (resident of the UK) later told me it was my combat boots which made me look like a terrorist. 😄
