Brexit 'will not have material impact' says airline chief Willie Walsh
I agree - but only because it won't happen!

Wow...I'm stunned.
Since UK is likely to stay out of the EEA, would that mean the UK has to completely renegotiate the openskies agreement?
Also, the biggest issue will be a UK recession impacting demand more than anything.
Looks like buying EI was really shrewd as Dublin will probably get quite a few financial institutions.

Here are my statistics from the night...
2am: 1,939,790 votes, leave = 53.55%, +7.10% votes vs. leave
3am: 7,940,173 votes, leave = 50.28%, +0.56% votes vs. leave
4am: 18,353,076 votes, leave = 51.34%, +2.68% votes vs. leave
5am: 28,267,022 votes, leave = 51.67%, +3.34% votes vs. leave
6am: 32,348,884 votes, leave = 51.74%, +3.49% votes vs. leave.
There were ups and downs, but the on-the-hour results were surprisingly consistent.

I am stunned ....
OK so what do I do now with the savings I still have in the UK from the 18months I lived there ?
Also is a shopping trip to London next week-end a good idea ?

So I foolishly booked a BA flight yesterday but I'm still in my 24 hour cancelation window. Its probably a no brainer to cancel and rebook later right?

I purchased the flights with a US credit card so I was trying to use the 10% dip to save some money but it seems Visa calculates the exchange rate when it posts so it doesn't make sense to cancel, right?
