Second class wait here

What have airport queues got to do with democracy and citizenship? Everything, says Mary Dejevsky in an Open Democracy piece.

Another, possibly faster, way to fast track through airports is to be a traveller with a disability. A ride in a wheelchair gets you to the under-populated "crew" queue as the pusher has to race back for the next traveller.

Some airports pop you into a golf buggy and you zoom to the front of the queue as other passengers wearily drag themselves along the concourse with their duty free haul.

International airports, esp Heathrow, are major problems as the queues for entry and check-in are inordinately long (and the staff don't seem to be able to speed things up much).
