Mr Platty is supposed to be coming home from Amsterdam today. He thinks he has lost his passport at the Hotel but its taking him ages to get back to the hotel because a major road has been closed and he is stuck in traffic, and his flight is in 2 hours.

Oh its his 30th Birthday today as well ?

    Thanks ladies.

    I'm more worried about him not being able to find his passport than getting home today, finger crossed it is at the hotel.

    Do you think he might want to spend his 30th in Amsterdam?

    Not if he has no where to stay ?

    He is quite pissed off with himself and crushed that he might not be coming home today.

    Well he found his passport and the airline said if he doesn't get there on time they can put him on another flight but it will be late and not to London ☹️

    And now my mum has just rang and told me that my grandad is in hospital with a bad chest infection.

    What next? I am wondering.

    Good vibes for your grandfather too.

    Well I hope it calms down soon, I know you've been working very hard the last week or so.

    He didn't get there in time ☹️

    He is going to see if he can get home faster via easyjet of something.

    Aw thank you - me too!

    Oh bugger, I hope he finds a good alternative, can he fly with BMI? There are these two decent options that I can see on Sky Scanner:

    Depart @ 15:15 - Land LHR @ 15:30 = £74

    Depart @ 17:35 - Land LHR @ 17:20 = £104

    I found one better ?

    We live across the river (virtually parallel) from London City Airport and I found him a flight that leaves at 16:15 from Amsterdam, I just hope he can get a seat. He would actually get back earlier than the original flight.

    Thanks for looking darling ?.

    Check your gmail ?

    Edit: Bah no seats with anyone it seems, he is on standby with several airlines.

    Doh I didn't think of London City - and that's the closest airport to my place too, double doh!

    Oh but no seats? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr, fingers crossed for a standby particularly if he can get home earlier than he would have done with the original flight.

    Aw thank you! That's really made my day!

    You've been a good friend and we haven't even "known" each other very long, it was the least I could do.

    It might be worth having a look at flying from Rotterdam Airport. VLM fly from there to London City, think the website is www.flyvlm.com

    It's easy to get from Schiphol to Rotterdam, there are direct trains from Schiphol to Rotterdam Centraal Station and then a bus or taxi to the airport.

    Thanks Manuka, I'll certainly let him know that if he can't get a flight from Schiphol.
