    If the answer is Heathrow, that is the answer not London.

    As I've made a royal mess of this. City will do, unless it is a particular one in that city.
    Stirring further. One of the city's has an actual real name that most westerners wouldn't have a clue about, nevermind the airport name itself being an almost no-hope-of-getting tongue-twister. Then there's the other one in that general area which is a new airport with us having little chance of knowing the names of it or its predecessor.

    I put the city not the airport name. I’ve since looked up all the answers so I can’t really resubmit. Was never gonna win anyway but I’ll fight tusk for the wooden spoon.

    I set this up while also "at work".

    Ended up doing nothing right in the end. Will try not to use the red penX too much when correcting.

    Don't be too hard on yourself Ted, that's our job. :D

    Seriously though, putting together quizzes is never easy, so we do appreciate all your hard work.

    Time to get the show on the road. Sorry for the messy OP, not recommended to do it while working.

    Are seats in an upright position, trays up & bags stowed away.

    Time to get on the move, but do you know where you are or where you are meant to be.
