Heathrow puts its destinations on the map

Posted by Mischief, April 2, 2012

The Easter holidays are almost upon us and that means an influx of families at Heathrow, where 3.6 million passengers will fly through over the next two weeks.

Along with a host of new family-friendly initiatives, we have also installed giant globes in the terminals for young passengers to learn more about the world. This is following a new study revealing that British children struggle to locate even the most popular destinations, such as France and Spain. In fact, one in ten could not find the UK on a map of the world, while 41 per cent didn't know we are in Europe.

Like many youngsters this Easter, the story has flown with positive coverage in The Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, Daily Express, Daily Star, The Independent, i and ITV to name a few.
