Luck of the Devil

I am truly sorry for all those PAX who have got stranded by all the problems.

I'm coming back to Blighty from NYC this Weds, but by random chance am flying BA: that special flight into London City Airport (and back). Am hopeful it will be all ok, as LCY has not been so badly hit.

I'm a FC Au holder, and normally fly VS metal UC, but... BA's credit card gives 2 for 1 redemption voucher when you spend $30k a year, which I easily do, so thats what me and Ms. Snowflake will be coming home on. Hurrah for random chance.

Will post a trip report in New Year, as it will be an interesting experience. All business BA4 out and BA1 back - the old Concorde numbers, sniff.

Hope you are OK getting back.

One thing I would warn of though is that LCY has a v short runway and the unique nature of its operations (steep approach etc) means that if there is any fog/snow on Wednesday it may close much earlier than 'normal' airports like LHR and LGW.

thanks. you are right, so: fingers crossed. don't wish to tempt fate.

although Stansted would suit my travel plans even better if they diverted to that!

Good old Stansted. So under-rated....

the old Concorde numbers, sniff.

Didn't know BA had done that with the old Concorde numbers - now that has made me all nostalgic and very, very, sad!!!

Oh well, that's progress - apparently!
