England - London - Passenger children at British Airways check-in desk

A young brother and sister look on in awe while a British Airways check-in lady asks security questions of the pair's parents who are taking her children on a long-haul flight from London Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5. The family baggage has been tagged and is about to disappear down the belt to join up to 70,000 other items in this average day at T5. The siblings stare as the young woman checks the travel details of the mother and father who have booked Business Class seats for them all. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009). .
