Campbell, if your flight is on, but not the connection from up here, you could always drive down, leave the car in the long term at LHR or LGW? You would need to commit to that at last minute, so might mean an 02:00 departure and a blitz down the M6 ...
Very much on the agenda. As you say, will be a last-minute judgement call, but our bags are mostly packed and will be finalised tonight so we are certainly flight of foot!
Preference would of course be to finish work a day early (ie tonight) and cruise down the m-way during tomorrow, rather than an all-nighter...because the impact of the jet lag on top of that would mean we could be pretty wrecked by the time we get to Orlando - but of course better that than not at all, I agree
I am just really watching the hand of the cancellation clock sweep round towards Wednesday,and with the latest ban extension now at 0100 Tuesday, I'm losing hope rapidly even for the transatlantic leg. But at the same time I think there could be some interesting statements out of the meetings being held by the great and the good today.
I would have guessed that X-atlantic flights could well be one of the first to be re-enabled if any partial lifting of ban were to occur. We're going to try to visit Edin airport today, since the BA ticket desk people surely have very little to do there now!
Paul, the Crieff idea is a good one and a very kind one thank you. Although we are one step ahead I think...have got a hold on one of our fave Cabins at the Forestry Commission site at Cropton, North Yorkshire, from Wednesday to Monday. Call it a consolation prize!
We shall see...pretty distracted today, I have to say!
