No, 9.30am is an excellent time for the first pint of London Pride prior to an 11.30am flight... 10:55am is an excellent time for that last pint!!

Good point, although the LHR-YYT flight always seem to go from gate eleventy-nine-and-a-half so is quite a long walk. Allowing time for a comfort break, one really needs have hte last pint by 10.30am for a leisurely stroll to the aircraft.
