maggieq Posted June 1, 2023 #128 Share Posted June 1, 2023 😩 so sorry to hear about your flight issues. So stressful these days. Ok, so not a fan of my local airport Newark but they do have 5 United direct flights to Heathrow daily and 2-3 on BA. Just to keep in mind for any future travel. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I hadn’t been really looking, I wouldn’t have known until tomorrow or maybe even once we were in DC. Be vigilant, y’all. Very frustrating. That’s what adds to my worry wart travel checks. hopefully, it will be glitch free from now on 😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MeganGC1983 Posted June 2, 2023 Author #130 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Disembarkation times just opened up. I can’t even get to Athens and they are all ready kicking me off the ship. I booked the 10:45am group. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA did the same thing to me last October - 2 days before flight. Also canceled one leg on the way back, but it was due to strike. Still, BA sucks! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fogcityca13 Posted June 2, 2023 #132 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Sorry to hear about the flight, nightmare fuel on these long flights to Europe. I’ll finally relax when the first leg is complete and I’m drinking a nice cold German beer. Is 10:30am still the latest available disembarkation time slot? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m interrupting all the other European lives to start my own. Join me as we fly to Athens and embark on the new-ish Resilient Lady calling on Santorini, Rhodes, Bodrum and Mykonos (for an overnight), then back to Athens for 2 days and a long layover in London. We will get all those daily planners, see the new shows, try the new menus, and as always, have a ton of cocktails. So hit that follow button, pack your air tag, and Let’s do Greece the Virgin Way! 🥂🥂 I just got here. Not too bad only 6 pages! Thanks for inviting us!!

Debating on leaving early and seeing if the hotel will hold our bags so we can catch the changing of the guard. So much planning compared to the Caribbean. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard of some airports having this option. " London has six airports, so you need to say which one. If you meant Heathrow (one of those six), then it has four terminals, and these different terminals are miles apart from each other. Do you mean a couple of hours quick rest or a full overnight? More detail please to get meaningful suggestions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also picked the latest time, and ended up just sitting there while a thousand others lined up and snaked out of to the terminal... Once I joined the end of the line, I never stopped walking all the way out to the street. No idea how all this will play out "across the pond"... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
