It is the eve before my departure! I had a bit of a scare today when I tried to check-in online, was denied because of my suspicious one way ticket, and phoned the airline only to hear my ticket didn't exist. What?!?!
I am taking US Airways from Minneapolis to Chicago and switching to United from Chicago to London. Turns out, US Airways apparently doesn't get to have access to names of people who switch airlines on their journey. Either that or the woman on the phone was an idiot. Luckily I do have an existing ticket (500 pounds off my shoulders), but I still have to check in at the airport tomorrow morning personally rather than online probably thanks to 9/11 and Christmas Day incidents, etc. An innocent passenger who prefers only carry on luggage and a one way ticket is nowadays clearly code for trouble.
I'm shipping one large box and one small box to Corrymeela, so hopefully the majority of my things will greet me when I arrive in Ballycastle, Co. Antrim on January 31st. Til then, I'm making do with my wee carry on :) Many European airlines don't allow a second item either (i.e. purse, laptop bag, etc.) in addition to a carry on, so I didn't risk it. Should be nice and easy to carry at least! Until Tuesday afternoon when I finally touch down in Newcastle, let's all please cross our fingers I make all my connections, am not deemed a happy, innocent, non-dangerous passenger, don't have a panic attack mid flight over the Atlantic, or really for anything out of the ordinary to happen. Please!
I suppose until I'm settled in England then, ta for now.
