I've heard that BA are launching a marketing campaign today, aimed at
persuading Brits to "stay at home" during the Olympics.

It's one way of keeping Terminal 5 from clogging up, I suppose.

Apparently some of their colleagues in the travel trade are not impressed,
in case it's taken as a more general plea to the public not to take
holidays during that period. And after all, the tidal flow of Brits
fleeing the country is exactly opposite to that of the athletes and
spectators.

Surely anyone who decided to leave town during the Olympics booked their
trip months ago in order to get a decent fare
