Hi Julia

Did everyone on this trip receive updated paperwork as I haven't received anything about the flight time change?

Many thanks

Si,

Think i only recieved the updated paperwork after i'd booked an optional excurrsion (swamp tour).

Mick

Thanks Mick

Yes, anyone not booked an excursion will not know about the flight changes until they receive their final paperwork.

Looking forward to meeting you!

Si,

On another subject, are you staying over at Heathrow ? a few on the forum are and some of us are planning to meet up for a meal the night before (4 or 5 so far).

Will start another post about it in a couple of weeks for those interested.

If not look forward to meeting you in the lounge before the flight.

Hi Mick

I live in central London so not staying over at Heathrow but thanks for asking.

See you in the airport lounge - getting excited just thinking about it now with less than 6 weeks to go!

Hello All,

How is it going with the ice hockey tickets in St Louis?. I have just checked on Ticketmaster and seats are not ready to buy yet. With the late arrival on the first day, does this bode well for the arrival in St Louis?

Jan

Hi Jan

The tickets for the game on Nov 6 are now on sale. The upper seats are around 50 USD,it looks like this includes fees but,not certain.Looking at the Blues website,the tickets are dotted around,you are able to select from those available on the site.

Like Mick said,it may be a bit tight if we get to St.Louis at 6.30,but,I have known some people turn up as late as the third period,otherwise may have to find a sports bar.

Keith,

The hotel is close to Lacledes Landing, lots of bars and some will have screens, remember watching some world cup footie back in 2006 when i was in the city.

Know a cracking place to go the other night it St Louis, not on the Landing but only a 10 minute or so walk from the hotel for those that fancy it. Good food and music :thumbup:

The hotel,where we are staying, is the closest that I will have stayed to Laclede's Landing.I went there 2 years ago,on the Route 66 tour,and it had certainly improved from my first visit in 1989.

Hi all

Last time I flew in to Chicago on Route 66 trip in 2012 it took 3 hours to get through security. With new security alert it could take longer. If lucky we may make breakfast on second day.

See you all in lounge.

Keep travelling this is real life not. A rehearsal

It took 3 hrs to clear Chicago on the Route 66 trip I did back in 2012 perhaps we were on the same one. But one of the reasons for it was that it was the Ryder Cup in Chicago starting in 2 days and there was loads of flights coming in for that. The BBC crew were on the same flight and the US Immigration wouldn't let John Inverdale push to the front and made him wait like the rest of us.

I'm flying to Washington in 10 days so I'll get an idea of what extra checks are on in US Immigration then and report back.

Steve

On my recent trip to Washington it took about 10 mins to clear immigration and collect my bag on a Wednesday afternoon about 3:30. Hope its the same in Chicago.

See you in the lounge for a few brandy coffees :thumbup:
