The Manifest
Auburn and red: three, and they are the rarest here
Three out of twenty eight, which makes this the smallest page on the manifest and the one guests ask for when they already know what they want and will not be talked out of it. Auburn is a difficult colour to describe and an easy one to recognise, and all three of these read quite differently depending on the lamp above them.
They cover the western and northern sides of this airport between them. The ladder is the same as everywhere else, from £250, and it is on rates. Photographs and her own notes open from the line-up.

Auburn and red
The three, and what auburn means for each
Lea is petite at 161 cm, her auburn long and wavy and refusing to behave, her eyes hazel. She is the Colnbrook one, and she will tell you before you book that the hotel with the terminal in its name is a drive rather than a walk.
Luna is 171 cm and curvy, dark auburn red worn long, brown eyed, and red is a strong word for it: the colour only really appears under a decent lamp. Patricia is 172 cm and slim, auburn brown, brown eyed, level in manner and genuinely fond of early mornings, which is rarer out here than red hair is.
Three shades, three silhouettes
There is no family resemblance in this group beyond the colour. Lea is the smallest of the three by eleven centimetres and sits with the petite profiles. Luna is the only curvaceous one. Patricia is 172 cm and slim, which puts her on both the statuesque and the slender lists.
Two hazel eyes and one brown, and wavy against straight. If you have a picture in your head of an auburn companion, the odds are good that one of these three is close to it and the other two are not.
The western side of the airport
Lea works Terminal 5, Colnbrook and the SL3 edge, and Patricia takes Longford, Harmondsworth and the Terminal 5 approach. Luna is the northern row, from ten at night onwards, and is honest that the Bath Road is horrible at seven and civilised at eleven.
Between them that is the whole western half of this map, which is convenient, because it is also the half where an overnight makes the most sense.
A small page, and what that means in practice
With three names, a particular night is either possible or it is not, and the desk will say which rather than offering you a near miss. Ask early in the week if the evening is a fixed one, and ask about a second choice at the same time.
Two of the three take overnights out at the western end, and that format is on overnights. The terms for moving a booking when a flight slides are on booking.
Near neighbours on the manifest
Guests who ask for red often turn out to mean warm rather than red, in which case the chestnut end of the brunettes page is the better hunting ground. Two of those three read almost auburn in lamplight and the record says chestnut brown, which is accurate rather than cautious.
If what you actually want is the colour itself and nothing else, stay on this page. Three is a short list but it is an honest one.
