One of the better airports in terms of layout and stress though.
Must have changed... when I was at it, you avoided going airside as long as possible because there was bog-all to do once you were through security.

You’re right though, it’s not exactly stressful, but then an empty building rarely is.

Paris would be a bigger threat to London IMO if their political situation was more stable. It has the capacity, the infrastructure, the things to do and so on.

London and Paris are Europe's 'big' cities. Sitting alongside New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong. I don't think Frankfurt, Dublin or even Rome and Berlin come close.
Nipping into town on your lunch break in Dublin is like nipping in to Liverpool. Great in itself, but if you’re used to London and its lifestyle, not so much.
