12 hours transit @ London Heathrow

I am with KL's mum & aunt waiting to catch a flight back to Singapore. London Heathrow airport is 1 of the worst airports i have been to... Chaotic, seats are snapped up quickly & uncomfortable, service sux. & well, i am stuck here for the next 12hrs of my life. AAARRRGGH!!!!

Well, all thanks to the silly travel agent that granted me this lovely 12hrs. I kinda learnt my lesson - never trust the travel agent to plan your trip. Always check the airline schedule for the no. of flights in/out. Apparently there was an earlier flight out from Philly & if we had been on that flight, we'd be able to catch the earlier flight from London to Singapore & i won't have to waste 12hrs of my life!

The best part of the tale - we paid £20/pax for the Holideck lounge and thought that i can spend my time here surfing, enjoying the less chaotic atmosphere till the flight departs only to realise that £20/pax only allows us to use the lounge for 3hrs!!!! U'll have to pay another £20/pax to stay here for the entire day! F£"$^!!!!! Honestly, if i am travelling alone, i won't mine paying the extra bucks for comfort but errrm, i am with the other 2 ladies so all expense is times 3! So nah...

Looks like after this 3hrs, i'll be out in the chaos, counting down to boarding time... I think i'll return to Singapore all grouchy, tired & wasted...
