After much discussion with USAirways, it turns out that an airside pass can be arranged, but you need to be escorted the entire time by a member of staff.
Having said that, Randy is coming groundside at LGW, so it's a bit of a non-issue.
Still trawling for "care package" ideas.
I've already promised Randy a traditional English breakfast!
