The Manifest
Brunettes: fifteen women and eight different browns
More than half the list is brown haired, which makes this the least useful category on the manifest unless it is broken up properly. So it is. Fifteen women, sorted from the lightest end to the darkest, because sun-kissed light brown and espresso are not remotely the same thing at close range.
Every one of them takes bookings around this airport and every one of them is on the published ladder, which begins at £250 and is set out on rates. Photographs and her own notes are on each profile, reached from the line-up.

Brunettes
The light end
Bianka is 165 cm and curvy, her long light brown hair sun-kissed at the ends, eyes hazel, and she can tell the hotels on the northern row apart by their lobby carpets. Laura is 169 cm and athletic with the same sun-kissed light brown and green eyes, and lives beside the fast train at Paddington. Vanessa is 173 cm and slim, sandy brown with balayage through it, hazel eyed, and knows the junction four end of the map.
All three read blonde in strong daylight and clearly brown indoors, which is exactly the sort of thing a written record is for.
Chestnut and auburn brown
Jasmin is petite at 160 cm, chestnut brown worn long and straight, brown eyed, and is the specialist for a one in the morning landing on the southern side. Liana is 167 cm and slim with the same chestnut shade, straight and long, and comes out on the Elizabeth line. Rosa is 160 cm and curvy, chestnut brown and genuinely curly, and takes short notice work anywhere in the postcode.
Curl is the useful distinction in this group. Two of the three are straight and one is not, and that changes the look far more than a shade name does.
The dark browns
Lucy is 163 cm and slender with long dark curls that take up more room than the rest of her. Margo is 166 cm and slim, dark brown straight to the shoulder blades. Michelle is 173 cm and curvy with the same straight dark brown, and Samanta is 174 cm and slim, dark brown worn long.
Molly is 164 cm and curvy, dark brown and wavy, and Sonya is 162 cm and athletic, straight dark brown, hazel eyed. Six women, one shade family, and no two of them alike in the room.
Almost black, and the deep browns
Stacy is 176 cm and slim, her brown so dark it reads as black until she stands under a decent lamp. Tiffany is 169 cm with a petite build and chocolate brown hair worn long. Tina is 158 cm and athletic, espresso brown, and is the shortest name on this list by two centimetres.
None of the three belongs in the raven haired group, and the record keeps them out of it deliberately. Very dark brown is not black, and a guest who asked for black hair and got very dark brown would be entitled to say so.
Where fifteen women cover
Between them they take in the Bath Road row, Hounslow, Hayes, Harlington, Stanwell, Longford, the southern perimeter and all four terminals. That is the practical value of a group this size: whatever hotel is on your confirmation, several of these names already know the building.
Heights run from 158 to 176 cm and builds from petite to curvaceous, so this page is worth crossing with a second one. The statuesque and petite profiles are the two that cut it most sharply.
Narrowing fifteen down to two
Do not try to read all fifteen. Tell the desk the shade you have in mind, the build, and the hotel you are in, and the reply will come back with two names who are actually free that night rather than a list of everybody.
The formats are set out under hotel room visits and the rest of the arrivals pages, and what happens after you choose is on booking.
