An American trolled the whole of the ‘failing state’ UK because he had a rubbish time at Heathrow and these Brits simply weren’t having it

This kind of weird Brit-trolling from American posters is so odd. I spent five years flying around America, its airport infrastructure is bang average.

This post is great. It basically details how a man, in presumably a fit of confusion, books a 90 minute layover for a 120 minute flight, and is then equally flabbergasted by every step of a journey no sane individual would ever undertake. https://t.co/L7mVlcxsCI

Apparently it is the whole of the UK’s fault that this man can’t follow simple instructions. https://t.co/Xz5sLb1WmG

Wait what– why did you have to go through immigration on a flight from Dublin to LHR? All of the British Isles are in a Common Travel Area and you are supposed to be able to travel around without immigration checks

Did the UK shag his Mrs or something? This vendetta is getting weirder every day

One advice for next time. Inter-terminal travel is free. But you don’t need to get a physical ticket. Just enter using your card at the gates. You will not be charged.
But what did you mean by the “baggage scanning” line. Checked baggage should be scanned before security.— TeD (@tdubey) November 10, 2025
Because it was a transfer from Ireland I had to go through security again

I know you’re reflexively anti-British for some reason, but these frustrations seem to be entirely your fault.

Mate, you come from the country where flights are being cancelled because the factions in your parliament hate each other so much that can’t pass a budget to pay the air traffic controllers.

So … I think the real issue is that maybe you … couldn’t read the massive signs that said “flight connections”. pic.twitter.com/CPNYIIK9oa

have you been to an American airport

Hundreds of times. This kind of thing has never happened.

Whatever the truth, we hope he has a better travel experience next time he comes to the UK. If he ever comes back, obviously.
