Disappointing but right of course.

In and out a few times a month must be tricky with all the rules on testing and mandatory quarantine.

Even then all the unknowns; test sensitivity, asymptomatic carriers, new variants, whether you can believe anything aircraft manufacturers say about their cabin air quality management systems...

Tough call right now.

When they do get one it stays in the safe and the manager allocates it to one his 'preferred customers'.

She told me they get 2 a year, I'd multiply that by a few to get the true answer.

Yeah, for work purposes was more inclined to agree to work based on the likelihood of getting something while here but that's gone now.
At least flip side there's a lot less travellers and it only takes just over half an hour to get from entry to the gate!

With reduced air passengers and no duty free, I expect WoS to consolidate their two stores in T5 to one. I.e. the separate Rolex boutique will become part of the multi-brand store.
