All inside though and the focus will be on catching dinner

I would vote for Alex and Willie.
Here's Alex, bravely dealing with the Mice situation.

I've just discovered that there are actually a surprisingly large number of animals employed in airports.

Whilst my favourite is the Llama bodyguard employed at PDX apparently, it appears that it's a possibility that the mice we have been seeing are actually trained explosive detectives.

Is this the same mouse that caused that BA flight to SFO to be cancelled last year, I wonder? It's a costly mouse, if so!

C-W-S as no one seems that bothered at present could we hold off on this until I take my outbound LGW-RAK at the beginning of November which will be my Silver flight. & swap the Avios for TP's? I'm Avios rich at over 130,00 right now. As a self funder I will happily catch the required amount ( possibly bringing my own if the required number aren't present) in order to hit Gold. #anythingforthosetps

Having now (eventually) spotted the little rodent, I support the concept of ‘the right sort of cat’. With a basic hunting instinct fully engaged, but equally well socialised to enable it to soothe stressed passengers, it could be a win-win.

It would be nice if someone cleared up the evident mouse-droppings, though!

Like this brave fellow



Mind you CCR is not the first place I would choose to search, but maybe that is the cunning thinking of those who carry explosives into an airport
T8191 and Woodbinerich like this.
