What would be the potential issues should a No Deal Brexit occur and travelling on this day - and, would you switch to travel on 30th October to provide extra redundancy?
How absolute is "absolutely"? If you really mean what you say, what if travel on 31 October is disrupted by bad weather, an accident at LHR, a fire, an IT meltdown, or a baggage system breakdown? All of these things have happened from time to time. Would any of them provide an excuse for not arriving on 31 October? If so, then "absolutely" doesn't really mean "absolutely", does it?
In other words, if you truly "absolutely" have to be in Lisbon on 31 October, then travelling on 30 October (or even the day before) might be a wise plan even if the entire notion of Brexit had never existed.
