a comfortable week
submitted by edwardvielmetti on July 16, 2011, 2:57pm
The author spends a week at London's Heathrow Airport, on a tab paid for by the company that owns the facility.
The first chapter sets out the conditions of the visit and explains that he was given comfortable accommodations, a meal allowance, and the run of the airport in exchange for his writing. As such it's a comfortable account of the place where nothing really goes wrong for him, and not the interminable journey that most people would experience if they were cooped up waiting in long lines for ever-delayed flights.
