This will be a short edition today!
Our flight from Reykjavik to London was due to leave at 0740. They called the flight and a long queue formed but they didn't start boarding. Then they announced it was the final call and still we didn't board. There was no announcement to tell us about delays. I do wish airlines would keep passengers informed better. The same thing happened in Minneapolis last night.
We e decided that we would travel Icelandair again, but would check the price difference with full service airlines. It is a bit of a pain buying food to take on the aircraft, particularly when space is limited. Reykjavik airport in undergoing a major upgrade too. It really needs it if the airline is to cash in on cheap flights and stopovers. Currently, it doesn't have many ramps, this means the aircraft parking on a stand and passengers having to travel by coach to and from the aircraft and also having to negotiate the steps up to the aircraft too.
We were about 15 minutes late off the gate and took off about 1600. Once airborne we quickly climbed through cloud so there were no views of Iceland. The flight was about two and a half hours long, but we ended up in a holding pattern over Heathrow.
It was busy at immigration and it took a while for our bags to appear, but all four made it. Our meet and greet driver was with us within 15 minutes and we headed out of Heathrow to a hotel in Wembley to relax.
That's it, holiday ended and another blog comes to a close. Thanks for coming along for the ride by reading the blog!
