Yes, you can actually take a helicopter between Heathrow and Gatwick. It costs about £2,500 and takes 15 minutes. I’m not joking. There’s a service called “Windsor Express” or something equally posh. You will feel like James Bond, except your mission is just “don’t miss your easyJet flight to Malaga.”
I have never done this. I assume you, dear reader, also haven’t. But it’s fun to know that while you’re on a cramped coach, somewhere up there, a hedge fund manager is sipping champagne and laughing at our mortal struggles. Use this knowledge to fuel your rage.
