Hi Neighbor! Thanks for following along. I agree about the air travel options. My problem is that my DH really doesn't like flying long haul flights. I have to make it as convenient as possible for him, thus the BA non-stop. We flew to Copenhagen 3 years ago with SAS and had to fly to Dulles to change flights. It wasn't bad. Our neighbors flew directly to Barcelona with United and had to change flights in Newark on the way and Dulles on the return flight. Like you said, the airlines don't make it easy anymore. I definitely recommend going with the Premium Economy no matter who you fly with.Lovely trip report! I feel like I'm following in your footsteps a bit; I read your Alaska trip report before we went to Alaska last summer, and now I'm reading this one before we go on the British Isles trip this year and the Mediterranean trip next year!
I also live in Phoenix, and saw the Pompeii exhibit twice over the past 6 months. Very well done, wasn't it?
One more comment; I have had a devil of a time figuring out air transportation from Phoenix. I too had read that the nonstop flights from British Airways are lovely in terms of convenience, but a bit rough around the edges in terms of the actual airplanes. We also are looking for premium economy. For this upcoming trip to London, we ended up booking a Virgin Atlantic flight. I think the planes will be nicer, but on the other hand we'll have to change planes. Basically, there is just no great way to travel from Phoenix to Europe.
I hope my reports can help with your planning.
