E-Tickets!

I have them! Yeah! All you will need is your passports when checking in at the airport as I will have given them your e-tickets.

We are flying British Airways, which is one of the nicest airlines there is! Please take a look at their website (linked to the name) if you have concerns about anything. Also - this is an overnight flight and we will be served meals. If you have food allergies you need to contact them concerning this. There are contact links on the site as well (1-800-247-9297).

They also have an advanced money exchange site. The rates are VERY good and I have been informed by the airlines they are still going down. I am thinking of exchanging cash this way in advance to pick up at the Heathrow Airport Terminal Landslide Departures - Zone B...supposedly where we will be arriving.

There is baggage information on the site, but this is what I have discovered so far:

Carry on: 2 Pieces. 1 not to exceed 22in x 17.5in x 9.8 in and 51 pounds
1 laptop sized bag or handbag or briefcase

Checked Baggage: 2 bags free. Max dimensions 62 inches at largest end. Not to exceed 51 pounds. There is a 25 sterling pound free for bags weighing between 52 and 70 Ibs. Bags over 70 will NOT be accepted.

HOWEVER: for this trip, due to our travel situation, you are only allotted the following:
Either 2 carry ons and NO checked luggage OR 1 small carry on with 1 large checked luggage.

I suggest packing an extra small duffel bag or the such that you may use on our return trip for items bought that may make your bags heavier than anticipated (or overcrowded). Coming back we are not as regulated as going there.

Please remember the meeting next Monday!
