DALPA is getting a new boss and the Delta boys are in contract negotiations, not that they can afford to strike but it might get a little rough there.

As for getting back and forth, obviously we fly there from a variety of places, but as DL employees, we have access to *very* cheap DL/Virgin Atlantic JV fares, if you find the DL flights full or not useful. I think you would be in coach with no upgrade possible on Virgin, but at least you get there/home.

To find it, TravelNet/Leisure Travel/Interline Travel/OAL Travel Eligibility (first link on page)/DL Virgin Atlantic JV Fare Chart.

Any seasoned aviator knows what's going on is business as usual.

I can't believe I'm asking this, but in the interest of possibly making more money. Can you fly while on vacation, and thus double dip? WS and/or GS?

On more general terms, any good advice on bidding during vacation months? Better to have a line or reserve?

Thanks

Do what LUV-Sled recommend. Oooo, that sounds... ;-)

Consider taking the Express train from LHR to Paddington Station. Non-stop, unlike the Tube, which has many, plus YOU can ask for the travel industry discount...with your airline ID. (For you only, unless your wife has on too.)

Anyhow, look into going to Windsor Castle; walk where the royals have/do and see where many are buried. At St Paul's, try climbing to the top of the dome. Great view, and it shouldn't be too hot that time of very.

Have Fun, and CHEERS!

P.S. If you're into James Bond and martinis, look into Dukes Bar, near St. James Palace; Ian Fleming was a frequent patron, and coined "Shaken, not stirred" while there.
