Rare TxTeach79 Posted May 25, 2023 Author #357 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Another fun potential wrinkle- as of ten minutes ago, luggage was pinging on the opposite end of the terminal. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not comfortable. Like, my knees and mashing hard into that seat. Um?? DH is 6'3" I guarantee you his legs would not fit straight on. Are all Brits expected to be that short? Terrible. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TxTeach79 Posted May 25, 2023 Author #361 Share Posted May 25, 2023 We’ve been stuck on the plane for an hour and a half now. That’s approximately as long as the air time of the entire flight. No further communication has come in over the last half hour. If we deplane, we may try and find a way to stay in London tonight and try to get to Barcelona again in the morning. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TxTeach79 Posted May 25, 2023 Author #362 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Well, this isn’t the review I anticipated to this point! Thanks to everyone for following and hanging in. It can only go up from here! Live and learn about over ambitious international travel, I suppose!! #thisaintgalveston 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Customs and security weren’t so bad here, but the airport was SLAMMED. I’m not sure if BA staff is involved in the strike….
