That sucks and also means you shouldn't have a hangover. Maybe getting pissed isn't the solution i thought.

Maybe they are merging the 2 BA flights into one as there is usually a flight about 21.00! Hate to tell you but the Emirates flight from T3 is boarding as we speak.

So, joy o' joy. I shall be landing at 6.30am. Mini's birthday party - consisting of 20 x 4 year olds starts at 10am.

Cakelady (you know who you are) - I hope the cake is a suitable breakfast when washed down with red bull.

Re: 3 hour flight delay

You had it easy. I got stuck in Luton Airport for 2 days at Christmas once. I was 10, my sister was 14 and we were on our own trying to fly with easyjet to my dad's place in Barcelona.

That wasn't fun.
