In complete agreement about Plan B - it's a good thing so many banks have transferrable currency to British Airways. Although I'm not sure what the last minute availability will be like. I guess I will find out.
Sure hope they make it through the winter. Hard for an airline to hibernate!
The bus takes you from airside T1 to the far island at TBIT which is where the likes of Norse operate out of. Very convenient actually and the food court there is a bit lounge like anyway, for those of us with low expectations. Easy walk back to the main part of the terminal for the main lounges. Do get a bag scale and put anything heavy in the personal item - which they do not seem to care about.
I would get calibrated on last minute miles ticket costs and bogus fees. Off season United are very cheap for last minute redemptions. Google flights is good for close in paid options too. Especially one ways, as a plan C.
