I missed my Wizz flight from Bulgaria to Luton because of a bomb threat.
So I got on the next flight, Ryan air, to Stansted.
I wanted to see if I could catch the next flight to Iceland on Wizz, but they donât operate in Stansted. So I took a shuttle to Luton.
Nope, Wizzâs their next flight to Iceland wouldnât be for three days. They wouldnât give me compensation. I was very angry at that lady.
So I bought a ticket to Iceland on London Airways. Cost me almost $1000. And it flew out of Heathrow.
The lady told me, no shuttle to Heathrow from Luton. I had to take the cab. I said to myself, screw her! Took the bus to the center of London, first, then would transfer. But I couldnât pay for the transfer bus while on it, like I did in Sweden, and didnât really know how to buy a ticket.
This man who wasnât all there tried to help me, because when he arrived in London from Ecuador a few years ago no one helped him. He really didnât know how to get to Heathrow and he gave me the run around, trying to ask people for me. But I appreciated his kindness.
I took Bolt to Heathrow. Heathrow is a nice airport.
The London Airways flight was good. I was in the 3rd row and the service was so good and space was so plentiful I was wondering if my ticket was business or first class. Made me feel a little better about blowing so much money.
Strange travel and never heard of London Airways, only know British Airways and flew them from Manchester not London. How was Bulgaria, cheap to eats and hotels?
Strange transfer two times, must take a long time and you said it cost a lot. So in Slovakia try the local Slovak pancakes and how was local Goulash, should be cheaper than in Englandâs pubs.
My luggage arrived as normal, but crazy how busy Dublin airport is, seems more busy than before COVID, and maybe 10X more than Taoyuan Airport. (Taipei Airport might be busier than Taoyuan though)
I love the sporadic hatchet threads on London, England or the UK in general. Itâs like people need to run down these places to justify their choice of where they live.
I think itâs great place. I will do another short visit next Sunday-Tue on the way back to Asia via EU mainland. What will be open on Monday if anything, should stock up on Sunday?
Monday is going to be a huge day. I really donât know what itâs going to be like, Connie. I would prepare yourself for pretty much everywhere to be shut. Sunday and Tuesday though, business as usual.
Get yourself up to the Palace at some point. You wonât regret it.
Frapucinny Weeny , Spicy Dookie Cortadoey or an Americano? Coffee in a cup or something resembling an onsen bath for an average sized Japanese?
Details matter SK!
