TIPPING AT AIRPORTS

siR,-1 see in The Spectator, of Friday, July 8th, there is a comment in the article, Our Visitors, that there is "open cadging for tips" in airports. I would like to point out to you that British European Airways Corporation has a rule, which is very strictly enforced, that no Corporation employees may accept a tip under any circumstances, and I do not think that this rule is ever broken. It may be that )our correspondent was thinking of the airport porters and staff, who are not employees of British European Airways, but are employees of the Ministry Keyline House, Rui.;lip, Middlesex. British European Airways.
