Really? I think it's not that inspiring personally. Think I would be spending the time figuring out how I can get home.

We spent a lot of time trying to work out how to get home but there were a lot of issues, trains messed up, no other flights available due to the weather issues on Thursday and until day 3 BA were promising to get us home soon.
Anyway I will post a summary tomorrow but just to let you know we arrived home in Norfolk a little while ago. Measuring from the time we should have landed in LHR last Wednesday to the time we landed today we were 3 days, 19 hours, 55 minutes Late. Is that a record??

Doubtful... the volcano a few years back caused people to be delayed for over a week in some cases.

I think that our LYS-LHR aircraft which was much delayed from 24/7 and the cancelled on 25/7 has just flown back to the UK as BA9277, I think thats its first flight since our cancellation. I assume its been fixed as its due to be used for BA904 to Frankfurt today.

Sounds a nightmare. If it makes you slightly better I have a friend from Laredo in TX who was visiting during the Icelandic volcano and it took him 12 ( additional) days to get back home. Add to that them being in Ireland at the time and me having to find them a route via ferries and trains back to London before they could even attempt to try and get home.
Glad you have finally made it back and if nothing else you certainly have an adventure/ story to swap for a pint or two with friends
