An article on major changes in international travel in an article on MSNBC.

One thing I don't understand is why every airline wants to fly into Heathrow? I would think the landing and other fees would be much more higher for them there. Also, the landing slots must be very limited there. What do I know?
As a passenger I would much prefer landing at a small airport such as Cardiff, Wales or whatever. I've talked to a lot of travelers who feel the same way. In California my fellow travelers would much rather land at Burbank instead of LAX and they plan their trip that way and save their company money. They also use Oakland instead of SFO for the same reason.
There was an article in the last few days of simple airports that the cheapo airlines are going to use in Europe that are less expensive for them. I'm for it. I don't mind walking down the stairs after leaving the aircraft if it saves me a bundle. Can we imagine that if it is pouring with rain.
