Ben left the house at 4.30 am for his 7.10 am scheduled flight. In theory, it should take less than an hour to reach Heathrow, but even at this time of the morning he felt he could not trust the M25, and he knew he also had to park. The new business parking section was now open at Terminal 5, but Ben preferred to use the short stay to save time. It may cost a multiple of the price, but Ben wanted the convenience. He had toyed with the thought of using the valet parking facility but discarded it as Ben abhorred the idea of anyone else driving his car.
Ben made his way to the Galleries lounge where he had agreed to meet Charlie. He considered it a pity British Airways didn"t have a first or club-class section on the Glasgow flight, but at least he and Charlie could wait in the select lounge
