The UKs Best Airport Lounge

The hunt is on to find the UKs best airport lounge.

Airport lounges provide an excellent setting in which you can relax before your flight. Typically they provide complimentary refreshments, newspapers, magazines and comfortable, quiet surroundings away from the busy main terminal.

But not all airport lounges are the same. The level of service that each provides, the decor, furnishings etc. all vary. We want to hear about your experiences at any and all of the various UK airport lounges.

So drop us a note with some details of the lounge that you have used, when you were there and your experience of the service and facilities. We'd love to hear from you.

Pilot Arrested for Suspected Drunkenness

A 44 year old United Airlines pilot was arrested by police at Heathrow airport on Sunday morning after failing a breath test.

United Airlines were quick to point out that their alcohol policy is amongst the strictest in the industry. Safety is their number one priority and they do not tolerate any violation of their strict no-alcohol rules.

Passengers have said that they didn't have a clue what was taking place when the pilot was arrested. Several commented that they were horrified to think that they could have been flown across the Atlantic by a pilot who was the worse for drink.
