Yeah, at our age we really fancy hanging around until 2230 to get on the overnight!!
I know what you mean, but no thanks!
It's a
total scramble of our personal plans, and those of the other 2 family members joining us. I'll wait until the morning to clear our heads and talk to BAEC, but it's a complete destruction of a route we've been using contentedly twice a year for the last 5 years. Yes, other timings exist - if you're young, or want to spend 6 hours in a Lounge waiting for the next flight.
I now have to seriously consider the implications of telling BA to stuff it, fly someone else, lose TPs and status and consider excess baggage costs. We do come home 'heavy'. This could send us to VS, embarrassing and expensive though that would be. Or … we could move back to UK?
