Saturday 22nd March
Our alarm went off at 0445, we had a very generic email from BA which said your flight might be delayed. So, we thought we’d better get ready and head to the airport.We got our taxi at about 0530 after checking out of the hotel, it turns out taxi rides are faster at that time of the day but no less exciting!
We arrived at JFK at just after 0600 and walked to BA check in. We waited 20 mins to be checked in as there was no one on the WTP desk and the agents constantly called people from the WT line.
We were checked in quickly when we got to the front of our slow-moving line.
We headed to the TSA pre check line which was busy but we didn’t have to remove shoes etc so that was worth a slight wait.
We then looked for somewhere to eat breakfast, there was a lot of work ongoing in the terminal and there were limited options but we managed to secure some omelettes



Afterward we waited at the gate until boarding started, the flight was showing as on time and we indeed started boarding as normal. They did announce that the flight was very full and asked for volunteers to check in hand luggage.
We boarded and secured our bags, we were sadly in the middle of 4 seats so no aisle access


We waited while the rest of the flight boarded and it was indeed FULL. We were offered drinks but declined.
We took off pretty much on time and were anticipating an on-time arrival.
Breakfast was served when we got on our way, I had French toast and Rob ended up with the economy full English which was a mistake. It was very poor.



They had given out all of the WTP Full English options. Rob should have asked for the frittata (which is essentially an omelette) but didn’t think through what he was doing. The French toast was not bad as a 2nd breakfast.
I napped for a little while and then I am sure I watched a movie but I forgot to note what it was! I know it wasn’t Barbie though, maybe The Greatest Showman?
I did watch some episodes of Young Sheldon though.
Rob got us some biscuits and dairy milk bars when he went to the toilet. I escaped my seat whenever one of our aisle seat people moved because I am always paranoid about needing to use the toilet.

About 1 hour before we were due to land they announced we’d be taken to a remote stand and bussed to the terminal. The good news was that we were expected to land early…!
We were on the ground at about 1940 (due at 2000) and boarded our buses and we arrived at the main terminal to a short line for passport control.
We were through the e-gates quite quickly and as we went down the escalator to baggage claim we could see our bags!
This literally never happens and last time we were at Heathrow it took us about an hour! We picked up our bags and headed out.
We boarded our pod to the car park at the Thistle and were on our way at about 2030.
We stopped at Fleet to get dinner (Burger King) and arrived home just before 2300, for regular readers there were no charging dramas!
