The queues aren't unique to the

USA. We took a charter flight from Schiphol where queues extended
outside the

airport building, in this case there were not enough check in staff.



Trying to get through Passport control at Stansted is a pain.

We use smaller provincial airports wherever possible these days, such as
Southampton - they often have extensive itineraries and queues are
virtually non-existent!

If I ever visit the UK again, I'll use anything but LHR! I hear
Manchester
is civilized.

Heathrow is a lot better these days, especially if you fly with BA
and use terminal 5...

Manchester is nice, clean but busy with holiday charters. So it gets
noisy and full of people.

The best provincial airport we've flown from is Leeds/Bradford.

BA have a Heathrow shuttle flying into there several times a day.

But I doubt you find many opportunities to use it as an entry point for
transatlantic travel
