  • That must have been quite stressful. In the future, anyone with a close connection to someone in the UK would be wise to keep a valid ETA at all times, renewing it every 2 years. People with a close enough connection to potentially need to travel at no notice are probably likely to visit the UK e...

  • This lounge is great but my experience there twice in the past year has seen terrible wifi speeds. This applies to the whole airport. Even a few weeks before the world cup the speeds were very poor. The lounge that is now used for Emerald OneWorld flyers in economy is a big drop down from this.

  • Do you have an address at SQ to where this should be sent?
