1. Thank god they have power sockets for laptops everywhere in terminal 4. Last time (just 3 months ago) I wondered why Heathrow is so backwards, only having power sockets near restrooms :)
2. Things are so expensive here! Once one of my good friends who lived in UK for a while said "if something costs x dollars in US, it will cost x sterling in UK" (regardless that one sterling is about $1.50). Now I understand what he meant.
3. I have a ton of ASF emails to read. It's interesting how much chatter we do in mailing lists, even the ones with limited participation (such as members@). Even if I select to read threads that I assume 'important' there is a lot!
4. Why do some airport authorities want to earn money with wifi ? Interestingly airports are like motels. All cheap/small motels offer free wifi but big named ones always ask you extra to connect. Dayton airport (DAY - called International since a few of the planes cross the border and fly over to Canada :D) offers excellent free wifi where as IAD / LHR wants to grab a piece of your hard earned money just to get online !
5. We are talking about touchscreens, gestures and colorful UI's but still the airline reservation systems have the ugly blue screen and a function key driven menus ! [Reminds me of GW-BASIC]. What the ????
