X-eunt

We dropped Agent Mulder and his family at Heathrow. Maybe it's his secret agent status, but somehow he seems to get lucky. The queues in T2 were crazy, but we wheeled the luggage towards the Alitalia line.

Mulder spotted a rapid check-in and went over to claim the e-tickets... only to find he needed a separate credit card for each of the family - but got the one ticket anyway. He then marched over to the baggage drop-off and explained his dilemma "My children don't have their own credit cards"... the clerk looked up - "I shouldn't do this, but bring them over".

Mulder was checked-in with all his baggage in about 3 minutes, instead of standing in the queue that would have taken and hour or so to reach the desk.
