- Seeing how LHR has a 6:00 AM curfew, I'm suprised that you are aroused at
- 4:45 am by the first 747 arriving. (I once had a delay in the
- departure of an American Airlines flight to LHR because of high tail
- winds. (We were scheduled for a 6:30 PM JFK departure, arriving at
- 6:15 am. AA held our departure for 1 hr and we arrived on time!)
