I was half thinking I might do my Poland and the Baltics tour next weekend, sneaking past the guards on an early train towards a deserted Luton airport in a sharp suit designed to allow me to convincingly fake a business trip.

Well, not really considering the trip seriously, but not quite ruling it out quite yet.

However the decision was taken out of my hands with gruesome inevitability by LOT, who cancelled the essential Gdansk to Warsaw to Vilnius legs. Wizz had already cancelled and rescheduled the first leg, so I'm just left with an Air Baltic Vilnius to Gatwick leg I can't do much with except cancel for taxes, unless it gets pulled over the next few days. This is the price we pay for attempting complex multi carrier trips in plague years.

So just deciding how to play the offers for Wizz, which I can move in a 60 day window or get a voucher with 20% added. Given the ticket was £8,99, it's not a major preoccupation anyway. LOT is a little easier, with the option of moving the booking completely with a 1 year window, for which I get a 30% voucher on my next booking, plus a 200zl free fare difference.

This leaves only one opportunity for another flight this year, December for a helicopter flight around Portsmouth, And certainly nothing doing with BA at all until January. Suspended animation beckons, but I've spent a little time checking dates and amounts of various refunds and vouchers and wondering what the chances of Norwegian staying afloat until I can spend my 342 cash points. It is all a bit grim again.
