Liverpool to Heathrow

[gray1404]

No, I have a non refundable flight to LHR (arriving 18:00), but annoyingly I overlooked LGW when I booked this (and its direct as well)! This means I'm already £90 out of pocket for the flight, plus the extra cost of earlier fares from Euston if I change my journey.

I think I'll take this one on the chin and stick with my original plan to fly into LHR and book the 21:07 from Euston. It would have been nice to get home 3 or 4 hours earlier but at least I know for the following week when I may have to make the same journey?

This is what I'd do too. Have you booked the 2107 yet?

I'm looking at flying back to LHR on 28th Feb. landing approx. 18:00 at T4 if on time (and with hold luggage to collect).

This gives me a relatively generous 2 hours to jump on the 20:07 Avanti Euston to Lime St., which currently can be brought for £74.50 first class / £58.00 standard class.

My only concern is if my flight is delayed and I miss the 20:07, I'll need to buy a new ticket for the 21:07 at an eye-watering £129.50 / £91.10 extra.

Is there any way to mitigate the chances of being delayed without just opting for the 21:07 service in the first instance (but probably watching from the Euston concourse as the 20:07 goes without me)?

As some one who worked at LHR for BA for 41 years, 2 hours for arrival clearance on any carrier and a journey to Euston is sporty at best, doomed to fail at worst.

Yes, £47 First advance (on Trainsplit.com). I'll hopefully get time for a pie & a pint?

Thanks for the advice guys.
