A couple of weeks ago I wrote US Airlines Should Shut Up About Having to Compete Against Gulf Carriers.

I wouldn't necessarily take this as fact given that over the years there have been dozens of airlines "in the process" of joining an alliance, and it never panned out.

While I’ve had overnight connections in London more times than I can count, I’ve always either gone into the city or stayed at the Hilton London Heathrow Terminal 4. The Hilton is an ideal option if you’re connecting to/from Terminal 4, since it’s connected to the terminal by air bridge.
I find most of the other Heathrow hotels to just be a pain, given that they’re not connected to the terminals and don’t have complimentary shuttles.
In this case we were arriving on British Airways from Copenhagen at Terminal 5, and departing the following day on American to New York from Terminal 3. I figured we might as well check out one of the Starwood properties, especially since it was the first week of the year -- who doesn't want to get elite status requalification off to a good start? ;)
