Not sure where the original phrase came from however it was a catchy phrase and became suitable for companies to improve productivity.;)

Deffo staying indoors on Thursday. A quick run into Town tomorrow morning for iWife’s hairdressing appointment, and then batten down the hatches. Hoping I don’t have another tree come down: next door has just had a massive timber clearance so they should be OK!

I wonder if Eurostar would be an alternative to get to mainland Europe or would the trains also be significantly impacted by the storm? Have a flight Thursday evening LHR-AMS and looking for alternatives.

Realised that because my flight out to Edinburgh was cancelled last weekend, my booking won't let me amend online to proactively get home tomorrow as I've already accepted one rebooking...
Does this mean if my return leg is cancelled on Thursday morning I'll need to get hold of someone to rebook it, or would a second cancellation open the usual IRROPs rebooking system again? |
Hotel cancelled and hire car extended. I am writing off flying on Thursday. Not even free flowing booze will get me on a plane in that weather and I think Heathrow will be carnage anyway.

I suspect you would need to book quickly, you wont be the only one looking at this. Eurostar is usually OK, but things can go south if a shed lands on the line.

Just booked a seat in Y with avios for the first flight ZRH-LHR for Friday morning, that way if things go pear shaped on Thursday, I still have a chance on Friday to make my LHR-SEA flight. Relatively cheap insurance.
BTW, I do have travel insurance, but I'd rather just travel if I can. |

Not sure if this is what the OP had in mind by “impact to BA’s operations” but my BA242 from MEX did the journey to LHR in less than 9 hours last night, some 50 ish minutes quicker than the journey would usually take. The captain announced there was a very strong tailwind which is attributed to the storm.
We then had an extremely short taxi to the remote stands beyond the C gates. Onto buses and straight through immigration and with no queues whatsoever. Thinking it would take ages to get the baggage from such a long way ago, I quickly popped to the loo and when I got to the belt which was right opposite the toilets was shocked to see the priority bags already going round the conveyor! |

Hmm - realistic likelihood of getting out of LIS on BA499 on Thursday morning... I'm guessing negligible...

I had to rebook a group to AMS at short notice on Feb 2019 when BA cancelled our flights at short notice due to weather. Even Eurostar were having problems due to the strong winds with a delayed arrival into Brussels meant the Eurostar train terminated early and we had to decamp to a Thalys.

Well as it happens my wife, son and I are due to fly GLA-LGW-MCO on Thursday morning. Looking at the weather warnings I'm forming the view that our bums are out the window.... send for supplies of the Badger's Arse😭
