Flight back to SFO
Saturday, June 16th, 2007The day started pretty early since I had to make my way to the underground, find my way to the Heathrow Express, and then get checked into Virgin Atlantic. The first two steps proved very easy with the underground stops very close to the hotel. Turns out there were some problems with the underground that were between me and Heathrow. This meant people who would normally just take the underground to Heathrow had no option but to take the Express (which costs more) so they were only charging the underground rate for the faster route. Not bad and saved like $20.
I got to the airport fast enough but checkin was slower than I expected. Thankfully I’d left early enough to be in advance of the crowd that surged after me. Once I got checked in I found a Starbux and settled down to wait for my flight.
It was a good flight, 10 hours + is a long time to be seated. The DVD player + ipod thing was great and I watched Grosse Pointe Blank, which is still one of my favorites, and several shows I downloaded from itunes. There were also some good UK shows that I hope make it to the states at some point.
