Host Hattie Posted August 23, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Please let us know what the outcome is. The only discussion I had about flights was when I had been quoted a flight from Heathrow, when our voyage personaliser went live it had changed to Gatwick. Our TA sorted it out.

denn1 Posted August 24, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Have rung Cunard and they say there is no flights other than what has been offered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted August 24, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Is that because you want to fly back to Birmingham and there is no direct flight ? How long do you have to make the change ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the "old days" I took a helicopter from BHX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnip eater Posted August 30, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Not according to Wikipedia, no. But the flights Wikipedia quote are via Amsterdam and other Europe airports.....e.g. Paris. The flight times quoted are e.g. 3 plus hours....longer than driving from LHR to BHX.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggis Posted August 30, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I recently took a Cunard-arranged flight from JFK to Manchester, and then caught a train to Birmingham (changing in Manchester Piccadilly).. I was in Birmingham by 10 am. This only works if your luggage is reasonably manageable, as apart from getting on/off trains there is a fair walk to the station at Manchester airport.

Froxfield Posted August 31, 2017 #14 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Personally, I would avoid Paris Charles de Gaulle if at all possible: my least favourite international airport. If you have to connect through CDG make sure you have plenty of time. Changing terminals, even from one part of terminal 2 to another can be very slow. Look carefully at the airport maps and understand exactly where you have to go and how. They can be found on http://www.parisaeroport.fr/docs/default-source/passager-fichiers/acces/ligne-grise-circuit-correspondance-cdg.jpg?sfvrsn=0. The shuttle buses around terminal 2 run in only one direction. Although it's never actually happened to me, I have witnessed many people missing connections because of the bus system used around terminal 2. I have had some close calls! Don't panic, but be well prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
