A350lutely A350rbing time at Heathrow 29 & 30th Jan 2018

well I couldn't resist a pun on the tile
I spent Monday afternoon and evening at Heathrow, stayed overnight at the Premier Inn T4 and then was out early part of Tuesday morning as well as I waited to pick up our neighbour on the morning Finnair A.350. I decided that fighting the M.25 in the dark and in the rush hour wasn't likely to be enjoyable so tried the new hotel for the first time. I saw several A.350s, they are getting more common every time I visit and got pics of all except the Thai one (but only a poor one of a Qatar one), here's a selection ....
