chipsdog Posted January 23, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2014 we have booked the BA flight 11 to Singapore arriving on the 10 April at 14:55 we have booked a car to collect us and take us straight to the Port, however, I am worrying that this will not be enough time. Is anyone else on this flight from Heathrow? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseluvva Posted January 23, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 23, 2014 The traffic can be horrendous and what if your flight is delayed? I do wish you luck, but have to say if it was me, I would go the day before - or even a few days earlier, as Singapore is wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushka Posted January 23, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) What time is departure time? Singapore is usually quite efficient at getting you out of the airport and the traffic flows pretty well. Is this a Cunard flight though? But honestly I'd never fly internationally to arrive so close to departure time. I don't even like doing this on a domestic flight to port.

laktex Posted January 29, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The On-Time performance of BA11 is pretty good - as illustrated by the statistics below. Personally, I agree with others that unless this is a "Cunard" flight I would go at least one day before. However, all would not be lost if you were severely delayed as there is a regular bus service to KL!! On-time 57% Late 11% Very Late 16% Excessive 14% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Australia all airlines are around 80% on time. Our last BA flight was 4 hours late and that was for a 2 hour flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeagleOne Posted February 1, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I think you're cutting it far too close to fly 6,800 miles and go straight to the ship from the airport. The most recent BA 11 left an hour late and only made up 15 minutes en route. What time does the ship depart? Even if it's at midnight I'd still worry. Why not go a day or two early and see a bit of Singapore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
