A young lady from the US finishes stirring her vodka and cranberry juice cocktail and is about to sip her expensive drink at the bar of the Sphere Bar at Heathow Airport's Sofitel Hotel at Terminal 5. Drinking with an unseen friend whose hand we see in the lower part of the picture, the girl raises her conical glass to sip the alcoholic beverage before proposing a toast to their unforeseen night's stay in this luxury hotel after a cancelled flight. Some nuts are on a small dish which are largely untouched. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).
