Mid-way point
August 31st, 2008
We made it to London’s Heathrow airport with about 7 hours till our flight to Cape Town, which was, unfortunately, sccrewed up.
We had originally book two flights with United, SFO-LHR and LHR-CPT, with the second leg being a code share operated by South African, somewhere along the line they decided to up and change our itinerary to go through Johanesburg with a 9 hour layover. Needless to say, the cat was not impressed. We managed to get it fixed, at least in theory, but when we arrived at Heathrow and checked in with SA, the whole thing was screwed up, but fortunately, they were able to get us on the flight we were supposed to be on - though it took a fair bit of doing.
So, here we are, hanging out. The Star Alliance lounge is quite nice - they did a good job of providing different spaces with different levels of lighting and types of seating to be conducive to working, resting, eating, whatever.
