...read one of those UK freebie papers a couple of days ago, and under a heading, called 'World facts at your fingertips', smiled at the list 'Busiest Airports'. Atlanta had 86 million a year, Chicago had 76 million, with London Heathrow third, with 68m.
One thing which confuses me...when Heathrow is in the media (be it paparazzi stalking the self-important, or people in uniforms - or not - stalking passengers who do not speak English...and/or may be a shade darker) why are we told it is the busiest in the world? Maybe there's something I am missing? Someone enlighten me!

Yes teacher...it is indeed a puzzlement, but damn - methinks I have posted the question too late in the day, or the three other answerers are indeed your first-year students! When the British papers print, ad infinitum that London Heathrow is the busiest in the world, during terrorist plots, what's their game? That will never deter the determined!

Maybe it's judged on people per plane per airline or some other configuration. It is indeed a puzzlement.

I'm with Suzita. Ditto.
But don't they say "one of the busiest", not THE busiest.
Does it really matter.
More wine Suzita. I've got a box of Shiraz........?

Read your question three times, don't understand....I'm very bright but had quite a lot of wine.....but it looks a bit complex to me.....
Sorry I can't enlighten you on this. (I'm very good at most things...)
