It may have something to do with charging $7.50 for a donut lmao
-
I thought Airports just made money selling neck pillows and toblerones at ridiculous prices...

„How airports make money“ 2020 Update: They don‘t.
-
The gate being hidden from the screens is so annoying, knew it was some kind of scam but this video confirms it!
-
I am shocked to learn that a nation that has privately owned and operated prisons doesn't have privatized airports. That is extremely weird to me.
-
Because of Wendover, in 5 years transportation logistics engineer is going to be the most popular job in the U.S.
-
The reason why heathrow doesn't do short flights is because there is 4 other airports in london, meaning if you wanted short haul you can fly from somewhere else, and heathrow, being the largest, can keep its capacity by linking cross atlantic.
-
I believe a lot of researching has gone into making this video , respect you for making people informative.
-
The other thing to note about Heathrow not having many domestic connections is that domestic air travel in the UK in general is quite low, because the UK rail network is much denser than in the US. For most intercity journeys it's just easier to get the train.
-
The amount of work that goes into airports is crazy.
-
This makes a lot of sense! I was at London Gatwick airport and they made me walk in almost a full circle of duty free shops to get to my terminal, and I had to sit around waiting for 30 minutes for the departure board to even show our flight. I got a bagel in the meantime. The house always wins.
-
Very interesting. Well made airports make you feel that spending urge
-
Anyone else in the "never buy anything at airports" club? Flights are expensive enough as it is.
-
And he’s back with the usual
-
When you’re discussing disadvantages of Heathrow running domestic flights, don’t forget that due to the size of the country, it is almost always faster to drive or use buses or trains than it is to fly within the U.K., and from most English cities the cost of a train ticket to London is comparable or less than the cost of a plane ticket.
-
A 330ml coke can is £ 2.99 inside and outside the airport is £0.79. This is how they make money. 😂
-
4:15 Basically Heathrow's managements are good at tower defense.
-
AIRPLANE RELATED VIDEO FROM WENDOVER YES YES YES YES I LOVE YOU
-
I live 5 min drive away from Heathrow, every minute a plane goes over my house, that’s just for one runway.
-
Regarding connectivity within the UK: Might be worth mentioning that Heathrow is one of SIX international airports in the greater London area... ;-)
