If any regular flyers of the LHR-LBA route care to share their thoughts it would be much appreciated.
I could take the train to Leeds as the arrival at LHR that day is around 2:15pm so time to get to Kings Cross.
Thanks for any replies^
You certainly plan in advance.
LBA does have problems with fog. This should not really affect your service because your flight
to LBA will be operated by whichever aircraft is spare at the time, not necessarily the one coming back from LBA. So unless LBA airport is closed or there is major disruption on the network, it shouldn't matter what is going on elsewhere.
It would be faster to go via KGX though. Not that the trains are immune from delays or cancellations.
Finally BA does shift around the domestic timetables a lot in the winter so you may see your flight move around between now and then.
