Switzerland Tour London to Zurich

The Heathrow Airport at London was a breath of fresh air.Huge area,lots and lots of passengers routing their their global journey thru’ this prestigious aerodrome.We had just rushed out of our Jet Airways mumbai flight and were scheduled to catch the Swissair flight to Zurich in next 100 minutes.The official Heathrow website,a great website with loads of useful info,had foretelled us that this changeover requires a change of terminals and we need to provision for 90 minutes for the switchover.The arrival flight being already delayed by 15 minutes,we had to really rush to make the connection.The good part was the baggage was well taken care of,with the alliance of Jet & Swissair.The worrying part was with a big family of 11 members,we have to be nimble footed.Papa & Mummy availed of the wheelchair assistance services and 9 of us walked hard to catch the inter terminal transfer coach.We boarded the well maintained coach,it glided thru the cargo hold and dropped us off at the departure terminal.We rushed towards the immigration checking-which unlike India,was very thorough.Ladies and kids were more thoroughly checked.The footwear was taken off,the jackets were off and the body search was professional.After this last final hurdle,we crashed down to the waiting lounge of the swissair-only to discover the flight has been delayed due to bad weather over Swiss skies and the flight was delayed by over 45 minutes.There were more than 20 newspapers and magazines for our timepass at the waiting area,alongwith pay-as-you-go Internet pc,toffee dispensing machines etc.The Glass and steel structure was very well maintained,the toilets spotless clean.There was not a single strand of trash to be found throughout our travel thru the Heathrow airport.More than 100 passengers,mostly europeans and americans were sitting in the waiting lounge,yet the silence was errie-the airport’s airconditioning can be heard -all of these was a culture shock.
