We just returned from India. We flew through AMS on the way to Mumbai and through CDG on the way home from Delhi. Both airports are difficult; signage is poor and the corridors are jam packed with travelers. We had 5 hour layovers in both locations but the airline clubs are just fine. But I determined that next time we will try to find a non-stop routing if possible and not worry about the additional cost. Another suggestion -- ship your luggage ahead so that it is there when you get there. Luggage has frequently gone astray in both AMS and CDG. And LHR is probably holding the worst record for missed placed luggage.

Bill and Mary Ann -- I read with true enjoyment the daily posting of your travels. I have attempted to email you on your blog but without success. And then I find you here on Cruise Critic -- I should have known you would be here too. Occasionally you will mention the on board movie playing in the theater. Promptly I check our local library and frequently find that the movie is here too. And I go get it and while watching it I dream of cruising with you two. Please continue to have fun. Page

I will be flying from JFK to BOM soon with a plane change in AMS. Assuming that I stay in-transit, will I be subjected to yet another security check and perhaps a very long queue?? Thanks in advance for your advice and counsel.

We just traveled from Miami to Glasgow via LHR. And as Techno123 suggests, there is indeed a mountain of luggage which did not make the connections chosen. We chose to ship our luggage in advance to Glasgow (and it was in our hotel room when we arrived). Some others in our tour group lost their luggage in LHR. My suggestion is avoid LHR if you can or ship your luggage in advance. Luggage Free is the carrier we chose.
