France frequently has strikes, transportation, trains, etc. I’ve been caught up in those. Also, they’ve had many cancellations too. The airlines should already already have their reduced schedules for Aug and Sep. for LHR. Unless it’s crew shortage or weather. It’s a lot harder to fly domestic now than Internationally. Good luck to you! My flight isn't canceled yet but I am now prepared just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PurpleHays Posted July 20, 2022 #28 Share Posted July 20, 2022 6 hours ago, Ombud said: My plan. 2 pants, 1 skirt, 7 tops inc 1 sweater & 1 chiffon, 1 chiffon poncho for dressy, sandals, underwear. Toiletries must fit into purse. Also trying to book 1 hotel for 2 nights and ability to shift to 1 night (so far no success). So unfortunately have 2 hotel reservations: 2 nights Leonardo Royal Southampton Grand Harbour (8/31-9/2) 1 night Moxy (9/1-9/2) I'm doing my best to get everything in a carry on too, and just put heels and dinner clothes in the checked bag. That way, I'll have clothes to wear, but if the checked bag doesn't make it, I can do everything except formal night. I just checked and our flight isn't cancelled. However, I've been tracking and it has a history of delayed departure, so we'll probably miss our connecting flight. I've already got our TA on it, but like others have said, I don't want to lose our great rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will not be excluded from participating in formal night dining in the dining rooms. Should the unthinkable happen, heaven forbid. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ombud Posted July 22, 2022 Author #33 Share Posted July 22, 2022 As Air Emirates has agreed to limiting some flights into Heathrow, Virgin Atlantic has reestablished the 1830 nonstop flight. I hope it remains that way & that others are as fortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am packing as much as I can in my carry on, but will check the extras. If it makes it, great, if not. I can live without what's in that bag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary loves to travel Posted July 23, 2022 #35 Share Posted July 23, 2022 we're doing the same.... carrying on the very essentials, checking all the "would be nice" and "would be *really* nice" items..... are you putting airtags in your checked luggage, to track? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwimum Posted July 23, 2022 #36 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Still waiting for our luggage from a transfer company after attending Golf matches in Scotland. Could not take luggage on our flight due to weight restrictions, clubs vs passengers vs luggage. Trackers show luggage is still in Edinburgh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texted him to insure it for the full 10k if he cannot carry it onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ombud Posted July 31, 2022 Author #42 Share Posted July 31, 2022 5 minutes ago, kiwimum said: We were on a private jet with a transfer company handling excess luggage. Still have to see our bags. Yes and many on commercial flights have the same issue. Hoping for easy flights but planning for a late cancelation. It's not just the flight timing it's also fitting in a covid test. Getting a that test on the day I fly out makes it a little difficult (currently appt is for 10am and hoping state site stays open so I can test at 7am). So trying to figure out how to properly up a cell phone to do it online if state site unavailable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
