Now I have had much better experiences on both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic than on Delta or Air France. Flights were much more comfortable, service better, TVs with each seat and didn't lose any luggage on any flight. Well, come to think of it, there were a few bumps on my intra Europe (Barcelona to London) British Airways flight, but in the end connections were made. Oh yeah, maybe I didn't get my luggage on the British Air flight on the way home. But I was alright with it, as I had an excuse not to unpack right away. So my vote right now is for Virgin Atlantic. We have a non stop Virgin Air light from SFO to London which was so easy when I took it some three years ago.
I have a question for all of you...How long are your trips to Europe going to be? What are you doing other than DCL Baltic cruise? Visiting any other cities? How much time are you taking off? I would love to visit Ireland and/or Paris while I'm on that side of the pond. Interested to hear what people are planning!
We'll either fly British Air or USAir from Philly to Heathrow or Gatwick. Our flight is 6 hours going over and 7 coming back, that is actual flight time and does not include ground time. We've only had 1 problem with luggage with BA and that was because our flight was late arriving at Heathrow and we had to run to catch our connection to Paris, but our bags arrived at our hotel that night.
We will be going over to London a few days early, just not sure how many. We want to catch up with friends that we have in England, and also want to show my brother and nephew London since they've never been there. We've been to London many times so we don't need to spend a lot of time there, but they will want to.
Last summer we spent 1 night in London before our cruise. We met up with friends and spent a wonderful touring London after checking into our hotel after our overnight flight.
We'll either fly home the day the cruise gets back or the next day.
