Stuck in London like many others. Was doing a Mileage Run originating in YVR through LHR and JNB to Cape Town. Left YVR on 5/26 so caught up in this mess. Was due to arrive CPT 5/28 and depart 5/29 back through JNB and LHR to Chicago. Grabbed a room at the Sheraton Park Lane (I'll foot the extra over the 200GBP allowance - besides, nothing available near Heathrow by the time I cleared immigration). Any suggestions on best course (do a CPT turn, just fly back to ORD or see if they may do something more exotic like route me home via Asia)? I am traveling WTP to get the EQD's so not sure if I will have to battle to get my ORC. I am not doing straight Y to CPT on what will be crazy packed flights and then jumping back on my original flights home 3 hours later.

Sorry for the rant - it's been a hell of a day.
