another bonus round
As much flying as you’ve done over the years, you’re never entirely unprepared when things start to go elliptical. So when IAD weather costs you over an hour of hold time inbound and another hour of departure delay, the fact that you missed your connection to BEY really isn’t a big deal (other than the fact it was aboard a 707 which is fast disappearing from active fleets worldwide). The Pan Am customer service agent at LHR is able to secure space on a different airline to BEY; you’ll depart later that afternoon to an onward connecting point, and continue on that same carrier the next morning on a short flight into BEY. The agent is also able to arrange for overnight accommodations at the connecting point. The new route involves two different aircraft types, one of which is a pleasant surprise.
4G- LHR – AAA
4H- AAA – BEY
