I made it back home!

I managed to snag a seat on a flight leaving LA at 0135 on Monday night (along with Mrs. Gordon Ramsey and Tim Vincent), and arrived back at Heathrow on Tuesday night around 1015pm. The flight was jam packed but everyone was in good spirits and I must say that BA staff at LA airport were very polite and well organised.

We were told beforehand that the flight may not land at Heathrow, and that it was not certain where we would land. Once we took off, the captain told us that our flight plan was "incomplete", and that a final decision on landing would be made as we approached the British Isles. We then spent around 30 minutes circling Cornwall as we waited for Heathrow to open. There were spontaneous cheers and clapping as we touched down.

I think we were incredibly lucky - I beleive some earlier BA flights from North America had to land in France and Spain as they couldn't wait any longer for Heathrow to open with fuel running low.

feels really good to be home, and the weather is warm and sunny too.
