Thanks, everyone! Coincidentally, I was on an AA flight this morning back home; I got off the flight and went directly to the Admiral’s Club…was able to speak with a great agent there and she got on the phone and went to bat for me to find a later, better connection (one seat opened up on BA while she was speaking with them). I quoted you guys as to definitely not being able to make the earlier flight!
It’s still somewhat early (11:30am) and through Heathrow on BA but much better than 9:40am! Thanks again!
