immigration, customs, train, security - i'll take ord anyday over the hellhole called lhr. but as i said, connecting through lhr will not stop me from taking a trip. it is survivable

Definitely one of those YMMV situations:
LHR- about half the time of ORD. Bus ride through the bowels of the airport far more interesting than train ride at ORD.
LHR- no shoe carnival- although the "take the liquids out" idiocy is there as well.
Do I
prefer LHR to ORD for international transfers? I don't
prefer anyone for these...but some evils are worse than others. Also, doesn't snow in London as much
Cheers.
