I'm in Frankfurt. For the record, I don't like London Heathrow Airport. It's junk.

   It's not that bad lol, you should see the other UK airports Welcome to Europe hope the flight wasn't too bad.

   I think I would have enjoyed the flight more if I had slept Or at least they could have played better movies… at one point I actually watched Cacamarine. The movie was actually worse than I expected. Ugh.

   And that's not all, mind you! So I had two carry-ons, a backpack and a roller. I had only checked one bag onto the plane. When I got to the gate in London, the ticketer told me my roller was too heavy and said she would check it onto the plane. Well well, I got to Frankfurt and that roller wasn't there. I'm still waiting for them to send it to my apartment. It has my converters, laptop charger, trackball, towel, soap, toothpaste… ugh, my life is on hold until I get it

   I love Heathrow. It's full of life and energy. Stop speaking ill of my home country!

   You love Heathrow or the airport? If you love the airport, then you haven't seen many airports

   LHR rules. Rich is right: its full of energy and life and people and diversity and action and more. I've spent more than a few hours enjoying nothing more than people watching there! And yes, I've been to a bunch of airports. Better than most, never had a problem, always very well organized there. San Jose Costa Rica wasn't bad either.
   And yes I've been to a bunch of airports lol.

   Again I'm with Rich: stop speaking ill of my homeland!

   I'm going to back Phil up. Granted Heathrow is one of only two airports I've seen (the other being LAX, now that impressive), but it's undeniably energetic. I could have sat there all day waiting for my flight without complaint.

   There is a fine line between "energetic" and "chaotic" - and Heathrow airpost crosses it.

   I finally got my luggage. Waited 27 hours for it. It was stuck at LHR for a day.

   For the record, LHR is pants on christianmontoya.com. Any further comments in disagreement with my previous statement will be deleted.

   don't be so mean. Let people disagree on this. It's like the people who actually like MIA. To me it's chaotic, but I'm sure some people love that pace.

    I'm not being mean I'm just telling people they can go disagree somewhere else
