I wasn’t able to say goodbye to my wife and young daughters inside the airport terminal recently, as I normally do at this time of year, as they head off to spend their summer in France.
When I pulled their bags from the car park at the entrance of Heathrow Airport’s departures terminal, I was greeted with a friendly but firm sign telling me that it would be passengers only beyond that point.
Things have definitely changed. My family waved goodbye wearing face masks and face shields when they headed off into the airport without me (at least I saved a few pounds on the airport parking).
