Time keeping on VS028

[LJP]

Hi guys,

Am looking to book our shuttle flights to london from Edinburgh. We are scheduled to come back PE on the 1/10 on flight VS028 and just wondered if it has been coming inon time lately? We have the choice of a BA flight at 09:20 ( giving us about 2hrs 30mins ) or the later one which doesn't leave until nearer 1pm. I don't really fancy hanging around the airport for near 5 hours if we are on time but scared that we don't give ourselves enough time, if i book the earlier one. Any suggestions??

Thanks a lot

it is running about 4 hours late today, I think I'd see if I can go for the alter flight, just to be safe, 2.30 hours is not a lot of leaway if there is a delay. Can you book a lounge for the wait if there is a longer wait?

Or book a day room at one of the hotels, allow you to freshen up and have a rest before your trip back.

Just completed the same trip as you on the 2nd Aug.

Didn't think there was a BA flight at 9.20, either 8.00 or 12.00.
There is an EJ flight around that time but we didn't have the bottle to try for this as it is not uncommon for VS28 to be delayed.

We sat on the pan for well over an hour waiting for the thunderstorm to pass on our return and they made up half the time but at least we weren't worried about the delay.

Note: it seemed from the last few stragglers that the DTD checked in bags were last off but again it was a stress free wait.
We could have got the 9.20 flight but only with about 30 minutes to spare on check in time which is too tight for me.

It is a pain in the airport waiting for the 12.00 though
The idea from Obi seems a good one.

Thanks for the replies
Jakey Rowling - i agree, DH and i have spoken and i said that i didn't want to spend my last day of holiday worrying about missing our shuttle, so think we will just go for the 12.45 one.
Obi - great idea, though to make the most of it we would be better getting a flight later in the day and my 3 muggles will be anxiously waiting at the cattery to come home and i couldn't do that to them!!!!

Ooohhh 5 more weeks to go. Can't wait.
