I am currently having the same airline issue only I'm already in the U.S. I have my fingers crossed that the airline people are in good generous moods this saturday. I don't wanna be a bridezilla but it might happen by accident!
I know exactly what you mean! Best Wishes & Congratulations! Let us know how you get on with the airline.
I have just arrived in sunny Orlando, flew with Virgin, the wedding dress shop packed my dress in a case which was the right size for hand luggage, no problems and hanging now ready for Friday 09.11 x
Its great to hear some good feedback. I think we're leaning towards Virgin ourselves. They seem to be more reliable. Hope everything goes well. Congratulations and best wishes for Friday!
