Ye gods...

...I have come to the conclusion that if I had a brain, I'd only be half as stupid as I am now.

*headdesks*

It's a long story, but suffice to say it involves attempting to plan a trip to the USA for this weekend without a passport or, in fact, realising that the dates I was booking were THIS WEEKEND.

So now I have to do the frantic dash to the passport office in Peterborough to see if I can get a new passport before weekend 23/24 or bump the planned trip forward another week. Got an appointment for Thursday. Will have to sheepishly ask work for the day off. This is after having today off sick.

And all because I want to see Rent on Broadway before it closes....

Yeh. I know.

Not sure with whom, likely to be AA or BA though, maaybe Virgin (thank GOD I didn't book the airline tix for this weekend, or I'd be so screwed right now). Also very likely will have to go from Heathrow *shudderfits* Dammit :P

here are the BA regs on hand luggage -- note that you can take two bits of hand luggage now (useful for you, I should think!). Virgin appears to be one piece plus a handbag at the moment -- I note that it's amazing what you can fit in a sufficiently large handbag in terms of books -- and AA looks like it's just one piece of carry-on.

I personally don't mind Heathrow but then we live about equidistant from Heathrow and Gatwick, and Luton and Stansted are an utter pain in the arse to get to (easier to go from Southampton, for heavens' sake)

*checks dimensions of her rucksack* Excellent, looks like I'm good with all three airlines :D Gleee!

And yes, I imagine the two biggies are easier for you. I'd love to fly from Stansted, but AA don't seem to be doing that yet. Although it's supposed to happen at some point. Can't wait, myself, it'll mean I can avoid the M25 completely every trip :)
