Do you mean at somewhere like a money exchange place? If so, why ever not?

It depends on what your priorities are. A proper taxi (a "black cab") will be driven by someone who almost certainly has better qualifications, and who knows his way around London better. The vehicle will probably be larger, and the journey may be faster because of the driver's superior navigation skills and his entitlement to use bus lanes. It's likely to be easier to get your journey started, because you just go to the official taxi rank outside the terminal, whereas a car service must park in one of the airport car parks. But a taxi will be more expensive.

Usually. But I don't recommend testing this in places where offering a tip can be perceived to be an insult.

Your name as listed has nothing to do with EZAir. It’s the way UA’s system runs the names together with your title. You can’t “correct” it. I see this every day, it won’t be a problem. And not just UA's system, either. This is basically how airlines do it. It's cleaner if you book without using middle names (the airlines don't care about that, either) - but when someone else is booking for you, you may not have the luxury of insisting on it.

I'm pretty sure that you do. I tested it earlier in a dummy booking. Also, there is this succinct summary from a blog: << Everything you need to know about flying basic economy on American Airlines Can I select a seat? Yes, but it will cost you. You can choose a specific seat at any time during or after booking for a fee. If you don’t choose to pay to select a seat, American Airlines will automatically assign you a seat for free at check-in. ... >>

I don't think it's actually that bad if you're prepared to take the Tube. There are two obvious routes: Piccadilly Line from Heathrow to Barons Court; cross-platform change; District Line to Victoria; mainline train to Dover Priory. Piccadilly Line from Heathrow to Kings Cross St Pancras; mainline train from St Pancras to Dover Priory. The cross-platform change at Barons Court is a couple of yards. There are step-free interchange routes at both Victoria and St Pancras.

Just for clarity, Armistice Day is on 11 November, which is the day that the OP was asking about.

OK, we now know more. The train drivers' union has announced a one-day strike on Saturday 30 July at eight train operating companies. These include Southeastern, which is the company that operates trains to/from Dover. It's a common feature of these strikes that there will knock-on effects for the next day, particularly in the morning, because trains are out of position at the beginning of service due to the strike. If I were in your position, as you are heading straight to the airport from Dover on the Sunday morning, I would now be looking either for a ship's transfer or a car transfer service. It would be a good idea to know what the cancellation options are for either alternative, because of course there remains a decent chance that the strike will get called off between now and then.

Although I suspect that you (and your fellow passengers) couldn't and wouldn't have done anything differently even if there'd been a big sign outside the terminal saying "You're not going to Greenland this week". You surely wouldn't have cancelled the cruise at that stage, and tried to rebook on an alternative flight cruise going to Greenland (of which there wouldn't have been any)? Most of those Norwegian ports are all pretty easy to see on your own unless you depend on ship's shorex for mobility reasons. I think the only one that might be more limiting is Olden. And the silver lining is that you do have the perfect excuse for booking another cruise in the future.

Basically. nothing. You will find that much will come to a brief halt at about 11 am, because there is supposed to be a national 2-minute silence. This has been more observed in recent years than in the past, but that is generally about it on 11 November itself. We have Remembrance Sunday on the nearest Sunday to 11 November (so in 2022 it will be 13 November), and that is the day for central London remembrance ceremonies during the morning. But even so, they do not really disrupt normal Sunday activities, because Sunday mornings are generally quieter anyway (for example, large shops can only open for six hours on Sundays and most choose to open from 12 noon).

And also https://www.portseattle.org/sites/default/files/2022-04/4.19.22 ONLINE Sailing Schedule.pdf (reached from the right sidebar on the /cruise-ships page), which specifically says 66 for 20 August, the OP's sailing date.

Was it delivered to you at home? (I'm presuming this because of your location and the direction of travel, and I think this is what you've said in another thread.) If so, and if you haven't already done it, make sure that you report the damage to BA because there is a strict time limit for doing so, after which the airline may have no responsibility to you for the damage.

And tomorrow's sailing is still on sale now, so I presume that NCL reckons that the Band-Aid will stick.

https://www.schiphol.nl/en/airport-maps has interactive maps of the terminal that will show you where the ATMs are (under Services). A quick look suggested that the train to Nuernberg would actually take more like 7 or 8 hours. But even that's enough to underline that what's likely to be the most practicable alternative way to get there, if your flight is cancelled, is "another flight".

According to VesselFinder, she was in Seattle for five days from 1 to 6 July. She departed Seattle at 1615Z on 6 July and took two days to reach Victoria. She then only spent 4½ hours in Victoria before departing to return to Seattle. So a guess might be that Seattle --> Victoria was for sea trials? The 14 July sailing is still on sale, which seems reassuring.

I think your answer is within your own posts. Sometimes strikes are nationwide. Sometimes they're local. It depends on what the dispute is, and with whom; and the effect even of a nationwide strike depends on exactly who's striking, and against whom. The effect of any strike also depends on how long the strike is for. We have strict laws about strikes, including about who a union can lawfully ask to go on strike, and about the notice that has to be given about any strike so that those who may be affected by it can make alternative plans. And, of course, strikes that are announced and planned for often then get called off. In the last couple of months, we've had two one-day strikes on the Tube in London, and three one-day strikes on National Rail services across the UK. But the Tube strikes didn't stop the London Overground or the Elizabeth Line, and the National Rail strikes didn't affect all train operating companies. Your question seemed to be contemplating that we may have lost all rail service in this part of the country and that this might continue until the end of the month (presumably you are asking about 31 July or thereabouts?). That sort of situation is simply not going to happen, because we depend on railways here. If you're really asking whether there will be a strike on 31 July (or whichever date) that affects Southeastern (the train operating company that operates to Dover) or the London Underground, nobody can know at this stage. I suspect, though, that if you are travelling from Scotland some time around 18-21 July, there will not be a strike that affects trains from Edinburgh to London. This is because I think there would quickly be news about new rail strikes if any dates have been set, and the time has already passed for giving notice of strikes on those days.

Why would it not be? This corner of the country absolutely depends on rail travel. Obviously, sometimes there are engineering works. Accidents happen. Occasionally there may be other disruption like a strike. But these possibilities have always been around.

Even making it all-BA doesn't make it simple, because BA usually operates from two different terminals at LHR. Domestic, short-haul and long-haul flights are all mixed within the terminals, so the distinction you are thinking of does not exist. The process is the same for your itinerary is basically the same whichever terminals you use, assuming that you are flying on one through ticket. You will go to the terminal for your departing flight (possibly the same terminal as that at which you arrived), you will clear security there, and then you will go to the gate for your onward flight. How much time you need depends on airline and terminal allocation (and that has recently changed at very short notice for many airlines). If you want a safe margin and you don't mind waiting for a while, three hours should be fine and well over what is normally needed. So far as the effects of staff shortages or even strikes are concerned, that's in the lap of the gods. You simply can't predict what may happen; all you can really do is to allow more time if you are nervous.

Make sure that the car company knows that you are going to an airport. As Stanstead's own website says: "First of all, we don't have an airport!"

Taking today (7 July) as a random example, you can fly direct from OKC to the following destinations: Atlanta Austin Charlotte Chicago (2 airports) Corpus Christi+ Dallas and Fort Worth Denver Destin and Fort Walton Beach Greenville and Spartanburg+ Houston (2 airports) Las Vegas Los Angeles Miami Minneapolis and Saint Paul Nashville+ New Orleans+ New York City Orlando+ Palm Springs+ Philadelphia+ Phoenix Salt Lake City San Antonio San Diego+ Seattle St Louis Washington + - by a stopping direct flight

There's a proper taxi rank at the station. I'm not 100% sure where it is now, but the National Rail website suggests that it's near the high-numbered platforms. If the Elizabeth Line is still using the mainline platforms when you come (which it's expected to until late autumn 2022), then that's the correct end of the station. A cab is required to take you on this journey. If you genuinely have lots of luggage, the cabbie will understand.

That would be Terminal 3. At the moment Malaga flights are operating at Terminal 5. Although this seems unlikely to change before late October at the earliest, I think it's just too early even to guess what the situation will be in mid-November.

"British Air"? Who they? 😉 In Nashville, BA appears to use the American Airlines Admirals Club: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/28119424-post7.html In London, assuming that you are not a higher-tier frequent flyer, you will have access to the Galleries Club lounges. In Terminal 5 (assuming your flight will depart from there), there are three of them: one at the north end of the main building, on the same level as security; one at the south end of the main building, accessed from gate level (one floor below security - then you have to go up two floors); and one in the Terminal 5B satellite where the B gates are (but I would recommend that you don't go there unless your onward flight is confirmed to be departing from a B gate, or you learn the geography of all the lesser-known walking routes through the whole terminal complex). AIUI, you should have access to the Admirals Club in Tampa because you are on an international business class itinerary, but I'm less sure about this. I know someone who will know.

You have just described the hub-and-spoke system in a single sentence. You benefit from this: you have said so yourself.

There are your increased opportunities, right there. Without the hub and spoke system, you would simply have to drive to Denver to get a flight. (Or Dallas or Phoenix, if you had the stamina.) That was your own fault for booking a journey with four connections (which is borderline insanity), or allowing someone else to book your journey without clearly specifying what you were and were not prepared to put up with.
