Check in at Heathrow was not good as I was told that BA had overbooked the flight. There was no JY rep but a BA assistant helped me sort it out with the check in staff. I was told that I should have checked in on line and then I would have had a seat number. I had booked Premium seating both ways and was told that I had only paid for the return premium seat.

I insisted that I had paid for both ways and after a phone call she said oh yes you have paid! Not a good start to the holiday.

Hotel was nice and we had a good breakfast each morning. Organised evening meals with JY were fine too. The Cheers bar did lack some atmosphere though as the eating area is extremely small. Excursions fine. Lovely area around the harbour.

We should have take off at 10 30 Pm from Boston but delayed until 02 45 a.m. so hoping to get a refund from BA.

So it was a nice trip apart from having to travel with BA!

Hello Keith

It was the Boston Park Plaza it was quite close to the public park and Common. Rooms a little tired but very clean. Some of us had a few meals there too and no complaints there.

Have a good trip.

Gill

I have stayed at several hotels there,usually the Midtown,which JustYou used to use.

Hi Russell

When I booked the trip,the hockey schedule had not been published,I think the Bruins home opener is the day after I leave Boston.Check NHL.com,each team has a link and they show their games by list or in calendar form.In St.Louis, Jan and I were able to buy tickets easily,Boston,Montreal and Toronto are more popular locally so may be difficult to buy on the day.Even if you don't buy in advance,it is worth checking each team to see if how many seats are left.You may be able to get minor league tickets,Toronto have a farm team in the city,Montreal and Toronto also have junior leagues.Minor teams within Boston are mainly the Colleges and some of the rivalries can be "entertaining".The other teams in the Boston area are difficult to get back from to the city,as trains seem to stop very early.

Will the baseball be still on at Fenway Park or the Skydome? Seen baseball at both, not sure when the season ends. We were at Montreal for Halloween, Sarah wanted to see the racetrack, gates were closed and we were not allowed over to the Island. Most disappointed.
