Hardly surprising -- the planes now fly slower than 30 years ago, and
the airspace and airports are more congested. Furthermore, you can have
some very long taxi runs in CDG.

The problem with this type of survey is that it the expectations of the
customers who are surveyed are different.

LHR is frequented by a large number of Business travellers whose
expectations are much higher than the bucket carrying holidaymakers who
frequent e.g Athens, so it's not a surprise that it scores badly.

Perhap Heathrow should offer free massages and Gin and Tonics.? :-)
