Anyhow, Mrs. Aerokitty is going to join me in Europe, and will be flying SFO-STR in middle of Sept. Only routing that will keep us out of the poor house is:
UA218 SFO arriving IAD 1749
UA920 departing IAD at 1824, arriving LHR 0655 +1
UA9242 departing LHR 0825 arriving STR
Is 35 mins in IAD sane? It must be legal since .com offers it up...
How about 1 hr 30 min at the nightmare known as Heathrow?
Don't want to send the Mrs. on a trip that is likely to be a nightmare...
Do you want your wife to arrive happy to see you or seething? Choice is yours.
As others have said, if you are a risk lover, you might try it yourself, but it's too risky for sending your wife.
