In this video I'll tell the story of how I was stranded in London after my flight from Edinburgh was delayed and how I eventually made it home, it was not plain sailing!
I had missed my connecting flight to Athens and I was so fed up I just abandoned my trip (for a full refund!)

I had my passport, my wallet and the clothes I stood up in. My car was in Edinburgh and my home is in the Midlands.
Although BA offered me a flight back to Edinburgh the next day it was a late flight in economy which I assumed would be delayed or cancelled leaving me either still stranded or very tired in Edinburgh with a long drive home, so I decided to make my own way to Edinburgh on the Avanti West Coast train.
When I went to bed there were lots of trains, but when I woke up…

10:32 Did I Get BA Gold Status?
My original plan was three European Trips with BA Holidays to earn enough BA status points (called Tier Points) to reach BA Gold in a budget of £3000 or £1000 per holiday including flights and hotels.
But with this missed flight, I failed.
Join me as I scramble to get to Edinburgh to retrieve my car and watch as I do an impromptu review of the Moxy Hotel that BA put me up in and take a look at what the Standard Premium Seat is like on Avanti West Coast. Is it worth paying the upgrade fee?
Did I get to Edinburgh? Did I get my bag? Did I get compensation and did I finally make it to BA Gold Status?
