The Spin

Narrative A

These new restrictions are ridiculous and Heathrow has gotten it wrong. Why should the airport tell airlines to stop selling tickets? Airlines have been making strident efforts to reduce the burden on passengers. Heathrow is simply calculating airport profits to the detriment of the travelers and airlines.

Narrative B

Thanks to Heathrow's intervention, passengers will be able to travel without the painful long lines, cancellations, and delays. There have been unpleasant scenes during the chaos at the airport - this policy will ultimately reduce volume and make for a more orderly experience for all.
