Joy, all my flights for my sabbatical got cancelled. Luckily I’ve managed to get rebooked on a slightly different route, but it involves flying Manchester to Gatwick, then self shuttling to Heathrow. We land in Gatwick 4 hours before we take off from Heathrow.
The person sorting out the tickets couldn’t tell me if it’s considered a through flight, whether I’ll get boarding passes for the whole trip in Manchester, and when we have to be at Heathrow. I know I’m going to have to phone them again, get more info, and figure out whether to just get a train to London the night before and miss the Gatwick bit out, but has anyone here done this airport changing lark? Any useful insights?
